The left-back, described as “the new Rami Bensebaini” by Foot Mercato, can also play as a left-sided central defender and is considered one of the best defenders in Holland.

Fortuna Düsseldorf and AEK Athens were eyeing the player this winter while Watford, Bournemouth and Feyenoord are also considering an approach after French clubs enquired last summer.
