Player Info

Jordy Clasie is a technically proficient Dutch midfielder whose intelligence, precise passing, and tactical understanding have made him a mainstay at the highest levels of Dutch football, currently with AZ Alkmaar. At 34, the 169cm playmaker may lack physical stature but more than compensates with a brilliant football brain and an exceptional range of passing. Born in June 1991, Clasie rose to prominence at Feyenoord, where his performances as a deep-lying midfielder earned him the nickname "the Dutch Xavi" and a move to the English Premier League with Southampton. His career has also included a stint at Club Brugge and a return to the Eredivisie, where he has rediscovered his best form. A key member of AZ's engine room, Clasie has won domestic cups in both the Netherlands and Belgium. With a market value of €1.2 million, he remains a highly respected figure, a midfielder who controls the tempo of a game and serves as the vital link between defense and attack with his metronomic distribution.
