Steven Berghuis Scout Report

Steven Berghuis continues to display his versatility across multiple positions for Ajax, with his roots firmly planted as a right winger but also seamlessly transitioning into central or attacking midfield roles. At 32, Berghuis showcases his vast experience with a distinct style of play that heavily leans on his exceptional progressive passing ability—a standout attribute placing him at the pinnacle of his peers. His statistics highlight a sophisticated playmaker, particularly adept at setting up his teammates, as evident from his high xA per 90. While his chance creation skills underscore his influence in the attacking third, Berghuis is paradoxically let down by comparatively low ball recovery and dribbling success rates, suggesting a focus more on distribution than retrieval or penetration via solo runs. His goal threats are relatively muted, but he compensates by maintaining possession efficiently, providing ripe opportunities for others to thrive. Berghuis stands as a valuable asset in orchestrating play, particularly in high-intensity Eredivisie matches where his calculated movements and incisive passes make him a key strategical piece in the Ajax ensemble, akin to a chess master setting the board.
