Playing Style Profiles
Klaassen remains the Eredivisie’s premier ghost, a midfield scavenger whose utility is defined by an uncanny ability to materialize in the box exactly when the ball does. While his 0.34 goals per 90 puts him in the elite top 10% of league midfielders, his profile is far from that of a creative engine or a ball-carrier.
A Creator. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.0 key passes/90), an aggressive ball-winner (3.5 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy), wins the ball cleanly (2.2 successful tackles/90), heavily involved in play (53 touches/90), active off the ball (2.9 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 10% tackler in the league.
