Scout report

Rising assetWinger

L. Sauer is a 20-year-old winger at Feyenoord, rated 76.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 18th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie and 69th of 994 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (63.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.32 goal contributions per 90 (0.19 goals, 0.13 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sauer.

Judged on this season alone, Sauer graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 5th of 12 of the 12 wingers in the Eredivisie, on 3 goals and 2 assists in 20 appearances (0.317 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 41 → 27). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 77, top 17% of the 12 wingers in the Eredivisie. At 20 Sauer is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 30 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Sauer missed 9 games through injury (muscle, inactive, hamstring) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 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.

Goals / app

3 goals in 20 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 76.7, Sauer carries the 2nd-highest potential of the wingers in the Eredivisie (top 17%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.32 goal contributions per 90). 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.
