An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (73.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Targhalline.

Judged on this season alone, Targhalline graded 53 — a strong campaign that ranks top 22% of the 41 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 2 goals, 4 assists and 5.203 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 53). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 22% of the 41 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 24 Targhalline is in his prime years, and a market index of 41 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Targhalline missed 5 games through injury (international duty, calf, head) out of roughly 34 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

5.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 5.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 72.9, Targhalline carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie (top 22%). Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
