In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (86% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Struijk.
Judged on this season alone, Struijk graded 32 — a solid campaign that ranks top 40% of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League, on 7 clean sheets and 2.723 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 55 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 77, 27th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 26 Struijk is in his prime years, and a market index of 92.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Leeds finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 86% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.2/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 77.3, Struijk carries the 27th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 64, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leeds finished 14th of 20) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
