One of the biggest game-time risers in the Eredivisie: on the pitch for 86% of AZ Alkmaar's available minutes this season, up from 27% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.

Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

M. Meerdink is a 23-year-old centre-forward at AZ Alkmaar, rated 65 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.61 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meerdink.

On the season, Meerdink graded 21 for current form (age-blind), on 5 goals and 1 assist in 19 appearances (0.607 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 21 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 65. At 23 Meerdink is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 30 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

5 goals in 19 appearances (0.26 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 1 assist for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.61 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 65 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.61 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
