Sven Adriaan Botman
Sven Adriaan Botman is a Dutch centre-back who developed at the Ajax Academy after beginning with RKSV Pancratius in Badhoevedorp. At Ajax, he initially played in midfield and on the left wing before settling into central defence. Botman made his professional debut for Jong Ajax in the Eerste Divisie during the 2018–19 season. He then spent 2019–20 on loan at SC Heerenveen, where he played every minute of their Eredivisie campaign before its cancellation. In 2020, Botman moved to Lille and became a regular in the team that won the 2020–21 Ligue 1 title. He joined Newcastle in June 2022 and helped the club qualify for the Champions League in his first season. Standing 1.93 metres, Botman offers a strong aerial presence and left-footed distribution from the centre of defence.
