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 an elite creator (2.6 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (3.1 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.58 goals/90), a reliable supplier (0.17 assists/90), creates high-quality scoring opportunities (0.66 big chances/90) and top 10% creator in the league.
