Jerdy Schouten (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsxʌutə(n)]; born 12 January 1997) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Eredivisie club PSV, whom he captains, and the Netherlands national team.

Club career

Schouten during his time with Bologna in 2020

Schouten made his professional debut in the Eredivisie for ADO Den Haag on 10 December 2016 in a game against N.E.C.[1] Ahead of the 2017–18 season, he joined Eerste Divisie club SC Telstar where he became a regular starter in central midfield.[2]

In 2018, Schouten signed for Eredivisie club SBV Excelsior.[3] For his performances in the 2018–19 Eredivisie season, Schouten was voted by the fans as the club's player of the year.[4]

On 4 July 2019, Schouten signed for Serie A club Bologna.[5] He spent four seasons in Italy, making 109 appearances for the Rossoblù in all competitions.[6]

On 16 August 2023, Schouten signed a five-year contract with PSV Eindhoven after the Dutch club agreed a fee with Bologna for Schouten's transfer.[7] He made 38 appearances in his first season with PSV as the club won the Eredivisie title for the first time in six seasons.[8]

On 26 July 2025, Schouten was appointed as the new captain of PSV Eindhoven.[9] On 6 August 2025, he signed a new contract with PSV, keeping him at the club until 2030.[10] Later that season, in a 4–3 win over FC Utrecht, Schouten suffered a severe anterior cruciate ligament injury, effectively ruling him out from the 2026 FIFA World Cup and sidelining him for the rest of the calendar year.[11][12]

International career

Schouten was first called up to the Netherlands national team on 27 May 2022 for the UEFA Nations League matches against Belgium, Wales and Poland.[13] He made his senior debut in the game against Wales,[14] playing the first 67 minutes and assisting midfield partner Teun Koopmeiners' opening goal of the Netherlands' 2–1 win in Cardiff.[15]

On 29 May 2024, Schouten was named in the Netherlands' squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[16]
