Scout report
S. Berghuis is a 34-year-old winger at Ajax, enjoying a standout season — 4 goals and 2 assists in 21 appearances, a Season grade of 28, top 33% of Eredivisie wingers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 20.7, ranking 269th of 284 in the Eredivisie. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (53.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Berghuis.
Judged on this season alone, Berghuis graded 28 — a solid campaign that ranks top 34% of the 12 wingers in the Eredivisie, on 4 goals and 2 assists in 21 appearances (0.417 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 23 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 12th of 12 of the 12 wingers in the Eredivisie. At 34 Berghuis is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Berghuis missed 9 games through injury (groin) out of roughly 36 this season. The 21 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.3% 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 20.7, Berghuis carries the 12th-highest potential of the wingers in the Eredivisie of 12. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
