Aston Villa

Ian Maatsen

A modern left-back who carries the ball like a midfielder and attacks space with confidence. Quick over the ground, sharp in tight areas, and brave enough to take responsibility in possession.

Ian Maatsen: The Left-Side Accelerator

Villa’s modern full-back, built to drive into space and link play like an extra midfielder

Maatsen plays like he’s trying to tilt the pitch. He takes the ball on the move, drives into space, and forces defenders into retreat because he closes distance so quickly. He gives Villa more than width, he gives them momentum, the run that turns a quiet phase into a sudden attack and makes opponents shuffle into emergency defending.

What makes him stand out is that he doesn’t sprint without purpose. He chooses his moments, sometimes overlapping, sometimes stepping inside to support possession, sometimes holding position to protect the transition. That decision-making makes him a natural fit for Emery’s structured football, where full-backs are pieces of shape, not just runners.
