Roshon van Eijma

Roshon van Eijma, marshalling the defence for RKC Waalwijk, has quietly emerged as a commanding presence in the Eredivisie. At 27, he's in the prime of his career, showcasing a blend of maturity and tactical nous. His defensive acumen is underscored by exceptional penalty area defending, where his timing and positioning are strikingly effective. Van Eijma's ability to recover the ball efficiently is a vital asset, often thwarting opposition attacks before they gather momentum. While his 1v1 defending might leave something to be desired, his progressive carrying is a standout feature, allowing him to transition play smoothly and support his team’s forward momentum. Though not known for his attacking prowess, his passing is reliable enough to instigate the build-up from the back. This scout report highlights a player whose understated style of play centres around defensive solidity and the ability to drive his team forward, making him a linchpin in Waalwijk's backline.
