An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zwam.

Judged on this season alone, Zwam graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie, on 2 clean sheets and 3.153 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 10). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 28th of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie. At 22 Zwam is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 25.6 reflects that trajectory.

3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.5, Zwam carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie of 49 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
