Scout report
C. Widell is a 23-year-old central defender at Excelsior, rated 71.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 57th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (99.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.98 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Widell.
Judged on this season alone, Widell graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie, on 6 clean sheets and 2.976 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 44 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, top 21% of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie. At 23 Widell is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 32.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Excelsior finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 99.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 71.2, Widell carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie (top 21%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Excelsior finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
