Dirk Proper 

Dirk Proper, at just 23, is carving out a reputation at NEC Nijmegen as a defensive midfielder with a keen eye for progressive play. His style of play leans heavily on his exceptional passing ability, often acting as the catalyst for the team's forward momentum. With an impressive knack for threading the ball through the tightest of spaces, his range and accuracy in progressive passing stand out in any scout report. Proper’s defensive contributions are solid, showing a decent ability to win back possession and stand firm in penalty area duels. However, there's room for growth when it comes to his one-on-one defending and ball retention under pressure, which can sometimes let him down. Nevertheless, his ability to maintain a calm presence and distribute the ball efficiently makes him a key asset in transitioning from defence to attack, offering a promising glimpse into his potential to influence games at a higher level.
