Casper Widell (2003) - CB - Excelsior

Aerial dominance off the charts in the Eerste Divisie, Widell could step into an EFL team this summer

We have a report on a young player here who is surely going to be in demand this summer.

His aerial data is unrivalled in the Dutch Second Tier, which isn’t a massively high bar, but does suggest that he is in a good physical shape to adapt to the EFL.

Craig Bradley

certainly seems to think that Casper Widell is a player that should be of interest to Championship clubs and potentially ambitious League One clubs. His contract is not a long one, and it isn’t a particularly expensive deal.

Despite playing in Band 6 currently, Widell gets an ESC slot due to his appearances in the Band 2 Eredivisie last season, playing over 2000 minutes there in 2023/24.
