At 18 years old, this versatile midfielder is a pure product of the PSV Eindhoven youth academy, which he joined as early as the under-11 category. Bound to the Dutch club by a contract, he has built a solid reputation thanks to his ability to perform with ease in both offensive and defensive roles.
Winner of the Otten Innovation Cup with the under-18 section, he now wears the captain’s armband of the PSV under-19s. His constant evolution has also allowed him to discover the professional world this season, during which he has recorded three substitute appearances with the first team.
