Scout report
L. Hartjes is a 23-year-old central midfielder at Excelsior, rated 66.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 107th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (75.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hartjes.
Judged on this season alone, Hartjes graded 33 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 24 of the 24 central midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.736 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 30 → 33). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, 10th of 24 of the 24 central midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 23 Hartjes is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 30.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Hartjes missed 11 games through injury (jumpers knee, knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 21 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.
Hartjes is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Excelsior finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 75.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 66.4, Hartjes carries the 10th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eredivisie of 24, 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 solid defensive volume (3.74 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.
