He is one of those players who is silently climbing up the ladder in European football. A highly rated midfielder, Frenkie de Jong has been hugely impressive for Ajax over the past couple of seasons.

He was phenomenal for the Dutch national team in the UEFA Nations League as he played a crucial role in the midfield. A player with exceptional passing and dribbling abilities, de Jong is a type of player who could easily slot into Barcelona’s midfield.

He possesses good pace and his vision is too good for a 21-year-old. He averages 1.5 tackles and 1.4 key passes per game in Eredivisie this season, showing how good a player he is with various aspects of the game.

According to his father, “there’s a 95 percent chance he leaves Ajax in the summer and a move to Barcelona would be the best decision.”
