Clean sheets

3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54, Kleijn carries the 20th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 34 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
