Steven Berghuis, born on 19 December 1991 (age 34), is a Netherlands international right winger with Ajax, wearing squad number 23. His current market value is around £3m, according to Transfermarkt.
Berghuis’ early career was shaped by the sort of loan football that tends to matter more than it looks at the time. Those spells gave him senior minutes and a sharper edge before he settled into the rhythm of regular Eredivisie football. He was never just a touchline runner; his game has long been built around delivery, timing and the habit of arriving in good scoring areas.
His most productive league season came at Feyenoord in 2017-18, when he scored 18 goals in 31 appearances. That remains the clearest statistical marker of his peak output: a wide forward producing like a central attacker, without much need for dressing it up.
At Ajax, Berghuis has continued as an experienced attacking option on the right. In 2026-27 he has made six Eredivisie appearances, scoring once, along with two European play-off appearances and five Conference League qualifying appearances, adding another goal. Across all competitions for Ajax that season, he has 13 appearances and two goals.
Berghuis’ career has been a steady Dutch top-flight one, with Feyenoord providing his strongest scoring season and Ajax his current platform. He is an established winger rather than a developing prospect, and his value lies in experience, use of the ball and reliable attacking output.
