T. de Jonge is a 23-year-old defensive midfielder at Groningen, rated 72.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 48th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (79.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jonge.

Judged on this season alone, Jonge graded 43 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 41 of the 41 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 3.271 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 24 → 43). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 72, top 25% of the 41 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 23 Jonge is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 33.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Jonge missed 5 games through injury (injury, inactive) out of roughly 35 this season. The 29 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.
