Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

Y. van den Ban is a 20-year-old centre-forward at Jong AZ, rated 54.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 91st of 376 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie and 303rd of 994 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (48.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.38 goals, 0.11 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ban.

Judged on this season alone, Ban graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie, on 7 goals and 2 assists in 34 appearances (0.492 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 27). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, top 24% of the 42 centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie. At 20 Ban is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 13.8 reflects that trajectory.

G+A

Goals / app

7 goals in 34 appearances (0.21 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 2 assists for 9 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.38 goals, 0.11 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54.9, Ban carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie (top 24%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Jong AZ finished 17th of 20) — 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 (0.49 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
