Get to know Mitchell van Bergen.
Born on the 27th August 1999 van Bergen is a Dutch footballer known to play right wing for SC Heerenveen
Signed for SC Heerenveen for an undisclosed fee in August 2018. Signing a 4 year deal after impressing through the ranks at Vitesse.
SC Heerenveen fans seemed overjoyed when purchasing van Bergen in 2018 and hoped he would show his potential playing more regularly in a settled team. Known for his speed and acceleration his let down is the final ball with fans moaning his final end product is at times selfish and rarely picks an easy pass but instead goes for glory when in important attacking situations. Often described as light-footed and lightning quick, van Bergen took time to settle but the last three seasons produced decent numbers for a right sided winger. Typically a right winger but can play on the left and is described by SC Heerenveen fans as deadly when attacking 1-on-1. Some green eyed monsters on the fans forum compare him to Yanic Wildschut with notable ability but rarely lives up to his full potential. It's worth noting for the last 12 appearances for the club they've used him on the left side to cut in with his right foot.
Some quotes regarding his technique from the clubs fans:
"He is very fast and therefore menacing, but seems to have no control over a good sequel from the action. Almost every shot 1 on 1 with the keeper is a hard shot against the keeper. He should be able to make 20 in the finish with peace of mind, and he comes alone for the keeper at least once every week"
"This is starting to get painful though: he has to give the simplest ball and it is 1-0 for Heerenveen. It's starting to look more and more like Van Bergen isn't going to develop critical technical skills any further"
"If we can get more than 1 million for Mitchell I'll be happy. It had 1 good season, then it got less and less."
Reports from the forum are he's began to slow down in his development, he's also found himself down the pecking order and will be benched more and more often and with him coming into the final year of his original deal Heerenveen have decided to cash in.
19/20 season = 5 goals & 4 assists in 25 Eredivise appearances
20/21 season = 4 goals & 2 assists in 32 Eredivise appearances
Reports in Holland suggest Middlesbrough are paying €2 million Euros (roughly £1.7 million *due to final year of his contract*) for his services with his wages being low, around the £9,500-£12,500 p/w bracket.
He's expected to sign in the coming days before the International window and has already said goodbye to the fans and team mates at Heerenveen.
