Sam Lammers is a powerful young Dutch centre-forward on the books at PSV Eindhoven. Last season at PSV saw Lammers consistently score in the Dutch second division with 11 goals in 16 games for the PSV reserve team, Jong PSV. He was however only able to get into seven games in the Eredivisie for PSV first team.
Going into this season it was clear that Lammers at age 21 needs first team minutes to progress which was something that PSV could not provide. At the centre-forward position, PSV has mainstay Luuk De Jong and additionally purchased young Argentinian Maximiliano Romero who are both ahead of Lammers in the depth chart. Fortunately for Lammers, he was given a season-long loan opportunity to join Heerenveen.
Lammers has made an instant impact in his loan spell for Heerenveen. He has started all 13 Heerenveen games and has scored 6 goals. His 6 goal tally is tied for the team lead with young Michel Vlap.
Sam Lammers stands 191 cm tall and weighs in at 77 kg. It is easy to class him as a tall powerful centre-forward. His strongest attribute is his good touch and control that he uses to off-balance defenders around the box creating windows to shoot. He is a goal scorer.
