Dani de Wit, born on 28 January 1998 (age 28), is a Dutch central attacking midfielder with FC Utrecht. He is the sort of midfield player whose value is tied not just to link play or tidy possession, but to goals – more of them than is standard for a player in his role.
His clearest early production came at Jong Ajax, where the 2017–18 league season brought 13 goals in 32 appearances. That is the part of his record that best explains the attraction: a midfielder arriving often enough in the right areas to make a measurable difference.
At Utrecht, where he wears squad number 20, de Wit has remained a forward-leaning midfield option. In 2026–27 he has made 13 appearances across all competitions, scoring twice – once in the KNVB Beker and once in the Europa League. His current market value is around £2m, according to Transfermarkt.
De Wit’s career has been built around attacking output from midfield: a productive spell at Jong Ajax, followed by senior football at Utrecht, where he continues to offer a goal threat from central areas.
