Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

A. Bouwman is a 18-year-old central defender at Jong Ajax, rated 47.6 overall by Field Insider's model. A teenage prospect, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bouwman.

On the season, Bouwman graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.281 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 4). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 48. At 18 Bouwman is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bouwman missed 9 games through injury (knock, contusion, wound) out of roughly 38 this season. The 6 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 47.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
