Per van Loon is a 21-year-old central midfielder at Willem II, rated 52.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 159th of 376 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie and 1022nd of 2874 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.51 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90.

Clean sheets

5.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 5.51 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 22.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 52.2, Loon carries the 27th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 62 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.
