Outlook

With a Rating of 14.3, Aanholt carries the 47th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eredivisie of 48 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 35, Aanholt sits on 2.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Aanholt's projected Rating — 14.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
