Scout report
T. Verlinden is a 27-year-old attacking midfielder at OH Leuven, rated 41.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 76th of 113 on scout potential in the Jupiler Pro League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (40.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.12 goals, 0.25 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Verlinden.
Judged on this season alone, Verlinden graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 5th of 5 of the 5 attacking midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League, on 2 goals and 4 assists in 26 appearances (0.369 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 4th of 5 of the 5 attacking midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League. At 27 Verlinden is in his prime years, and a market index of 13 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · OH Leuven finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2 goals in 26 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.23 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.12 goals, 0.25 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 41.1, Verlinden carries the 4th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League of 5, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (OH Leuven finished 17th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
