Scout report

Squad depthCreative Full-back

G. Read is a 20-year-old full-back at Feyenoord, rated 75 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 28th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie and 77th of 995 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (58% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.06 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Read.

Judged on this season alone, Read graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 48 of the 48 full-backs in the Eredivisie, on 3 clean sheets and 3.064 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 27). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 75, top 13% of the 48 full-backs in the Eredivisie. At 20 Read is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 29.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Read missed 16 games through injury (muscle, unknown, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 75, Read carries the 6th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eredivisie (top 13%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
