Quilindschy Hartman Scout Report At Burnley 2025/2026: A Miscast Talent In The Premier League – Player Analysis

Quilindschy Hartman was one of the most admired young full-backs/wing-backs in Europe two years ago when Total Football Analysis last scouted the Dutchman.

Hartman was a key part of Arne Slot’s Feyenoord side that won the Eredivisie in 2022/2023 and won the KNVB Cup in 2023/2024.

The left-back was heavily linked with both Chelsea and Arsenal in 2024 before a serious knee injury set him back, leaving him sidelined for almost a full calendar year.

Hartman ultimately secured his move to England this past summer, with Scott Parker’s Burnley the destination.

There’s been plenty of speculation around Hartman’s transfer status of late, with highly publicised links to fierce Feyenoord rivals Ajax (since refuted by Hartman himself) and, more recently, links to Beşiktaş.

Clarets boss Parker, meanwhile, has explained Hartman’s absences from some recent matchday squads more or less as managing the 24-year-old’s workload and giving him time to adapt to his new environment, which seems sensible, especially coming off the back of that lengthy knee injury.

This Quilindschy Hartman scout report analyses the Netherlands international’s exciting profile, highlighting the unique skills he brings to Scott Parker’s side and why his current team doesn’t allow him to show the best of himself on the Premier League stage.

Quilindschy Hartman Stats

On top of the lengthy injury which kept him out of action for so long and the fact that Hartman is making a step up from Eredivisie to the Premier League this season, we must acknowledge Quilindschy Hartman is experiencing something very different on the pitch with Burnley this term than he had experienced with Feyenoord.

Arne Slot’s side averaged the most possession in the Dutch top-flight in 2023/2024 (61.2%).

Burnley, meanwhile, are currently averaging the lowest amount of possession in the Premier League (40.9%).

Obviously, this places different demands and expectations on Hartman than he will have been used to in previous seasons of professional football and even further back in his development, with the left-back having come through Feyenoord’s youth system since 2010.

The following graphic (Figure 1) shows Quilindschy Hartman’s percentile ranks for 2023/2024 in several key metrics when his performance is compared to that of other left-backs in Eredivisie and leagues of a similar level.
