He brings 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Venne.

Judged on this season alone, Venne graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Eerste Divisie, on 5 goals and 0 assists in 34 appearances (0.356 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 16). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 39th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 34 Venne is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.

5 goals in 34 appearances (0.15 per game) for an upper-table side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 12.9, Venne carries the 39th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 40. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
