Scouting Report & Player Insights
Joey Veerman is a deep-lying playmaker for PSV Eindhoven whose game is built around ball-striking, long-range passing, and dead-ball delivery rather than athleticism. He dictates tempo from central midfield, spraying diagonal switches and driving set pieces that make him one of the Eredivisie's premier creators. Since his move from AZ Alkmaar, he has become a key figure in PSV's title-winning squads and has earned regular Netherlands call-ups. His limitations in pace and defensive work rate are the trade-off for his elite range of passing and shooting.
Joined PSV Eindhoven from SC Heerenveen and became a regular starter in central midfield.
Known for his dead-ball ability, scoring and assisting frequently from free kicks and corners.
Capped by the Netherlands national team as a first-team international.
