Luuk de Jong Scout Report

Luuk de Jong might be 34, but his performances for PSV Eindhoven this season are anything but fading. As a classic striker, his style of play is supremely direct and efficient, hallmarking a seasoned forward who knows exactly when to make his mark. De Jong's player stats reveal an impressive ability to retain possession at a world-class level, a crucial facet of his game that enables him to support his team with high ball retention (97th percentile). His prowess in chance creation and goal efficiency underpins his excellent reading of the game; with assists and expected assists per 90 minutes leading the charts, he's clearly a playmaker as well as a goal-scorer. His proficiency in finding the back of the net is evidenced by a stellar percentile in goals per 90 and an equally commendable xG, showcasing a striker who maximises the few touches he gets with laser-like precision. However, his lower percentile in progressive carrying suggests a limitation in driving play forward on his own, tending instead to rely on sharp passing, as indicated by his solid percentile ranking in progressive passes. While he's not dribbling past defenders often, his positioning and intelligence in attack offer PSV a reliable target man who thrives within the box, creating and converting opportunities with clinical efficiency.
