The Dutch Eredivisie King was born! The 23-year-old midfielder set a record of 29 years and became the first person in Twente s history

The Eredivisie awards ceremony staged a milestone: 23-year-old Twenter midfielder Sem Steyn won the 2024/25 season Best Player and Golden Boot Awards with an overwhelming advantage, becoming the first midfielder to score more than 20 goals in a single season since Litmanin in the 1993/94 season. The Dutch newcomer refreshed the Eredivisie midfield offensive ceiling with 27 goals in his right foot, 2 goals in his left foot and 4 goals in his head, along with 3 goals in the play-offs. The selection mechanism shows that Stein broke through candidates such as Klassen and Paisch, thanks to the favor of 18 Eredivisie captains in the VVCS player union voting, combined with Opta data and fans' "best game" points. His double honors continued Luke De Jong's glory last season, becoming the second player in the Eredivisie to win double awards in a single season in the past 20 years. It is worth noting that he broke the Twente team's history record - this veteran team has never played the best player in the Eredivisie before, and Steyn's 20+ goals midfield miracle makes him even more comparable to the historical status of legends such as Litmaning and De Jong.

Technical statistics show that Stein's goal distribution covers inside and outside the penalty area, with both long shots and long shots in the midfield, and the ability to grab points in the penalty area. This all-round attribute makes him the most offensive threat midfielder in the past 30 years.
