Goals / app

13 goals in 35 appearances (0.37 per game) — double figures playing for an upper-table side (6th of 20).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.99 goal contributions per 90 (0.99 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.4, Leij carries the 5th-highest potential of the wingers in the Eerste Divisie (top 13%). In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.99 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
