8 goals in 37 appearances (0.22 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 13 goal contributions (0.35 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 84.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.16 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.97 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.2, O`Niel carries the 7th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eerste Divisie (top 18%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Jong Ajax finished 20th 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 (0.41 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
