Sven Botman

Botman is a Netherlands youth international and a player of great potential at only 20 years old.

Being a left-footed centre-back too, his skills will surely be in high demand if he continues to develop well as a player into the future.

His club SC Heerenveen sit in midtable in the Eredivisie but certainly have a reliable defensive presence in their ranks to build with towards the future.

Botman has respectable stats for tackling and interceptions, but a high number of clearances per game – hinting at an ability to be in the right place at the right time to thwart attacks.
