A. Smits is a 21-year-old winger at Jong AZ, rated 50 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 214th of 376 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie and 1131st of 2874 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.53 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.36 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Smits.

Judged on this season alone, Smits graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 40 of the 40 wingers in the Eerste Divisie, on 2 goals and 4 assists in 28 appearances (0.534 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 16). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, 30th of 40 of the 40 wingers in the Eerste Divisie. At 21 Smits is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 13.3 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

2 goals in 28 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.53 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.36 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50, Smits carries the 30th-highest potential of the wingers in the Eerste Divisie of 40, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Jong AZ finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.53 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
