Scout report
D. Gjengaar is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at New York Red Bulls, rated 41.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 95th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 1651st of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.64 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gjengaar.
Judged on this season alone, Gjengaar graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 1.636 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 13). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 26% of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 22 Gjengaar is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · New York Red Bulls finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 41.8, Gjengaar carries the 13th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 50 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
