Sven Botman
Newcastle United/D/
NetherlandsPlayer Info
Sven Botman is a colossus at the heart of defence, a Dutch centre-back whose composure, left-footed distribution, and aerial dominance have made him a key figure for Newcastle United. Born in January 2000, the 26-year-old defender stands 195cm tall, using his frame to immense effect in both defensive duels and attacking set-pieces. His rise was meteoric at Lille, where he played a central role in their stunning 2021 Ligue 1 title triumph, attracting interest from Europe's elite. His subsequent move to Newcastle for a significant fee has proven astute, as he quickly became a defensive lynchpin in their transformation. Botman reads the game with maturity beyond his years, excels in building play from the back, and forms formidable partnerships. Valued at €35 million, he is considered one of the premier defenders in the Premier League and a surefire future mainstay for the Netherlands.
