2020

On 1 March 2020, Koopmeiners played a 70-metre pass to set up Oussama Idrissi for AZ's second goal in a 2–0 win against Ajax which put his side level on points with Ajax.

2018

Koopmeiners made four appearances for the Netherlands national under-17 team, as well as two appearances for the national under-18 team. As part of the under-19s, he played at the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, reaching the semi-finals and only losing to Portugal. At under-19 level, Koopmeiners made 13 appearances. After five appearances for the Netherlands Under-20 team, he made his debut for the national under-21 team on 22 March 2018 in a 1–4 loss in Doetinchem to the Belgium under-21 team.

2017

On 18 August 2017, Koopmeiners made his professional debut for Jong AZ in a 3–1 away win over FC Den Bosch. He made his first team-debut on 1 October, coming on substitute for Alireza Jahanbakhsh for the final 30 minutes of a 0–4 home loss to Feyenoord. At the end of the 2017–18 season, AZ ended in third place, and thereby qualified for Europa League. In his first professional season, Koopmeiners made 26 league appearances in which he scored one goal.

2009

Koopmeiners grew up in Castricum, North Holland, and took his first steps in football as a youth player for the local club, Vitesse '22. In 2009, he joined the AZ youth academy at under-12 level. He eventually progressed through the ranks, and as part of the club's reserve team, Jong AZ, he became champion of the Dutch third division in the 2016–17 season, reaching promotion to the Eerste Divisie.

One of the best facets of Koopmeiners' game is his leadership ability, so much so that he was named as AZ Alkmaar's captain at just 21 years of age.

But don't be fooled into thinking he's the leader of a side brimming with veterans and so his job as captain is minimal - Alkmaar's squad is full of talented youngsters such as Owen Wijndal, Calvin Stengs and Myron Boadu, so Koopmeiners' role at the club his huge.

Style of Play

Like a lot of Dutch midfielders, Koopmeiners' biggest strengths lie in his technical ability rather than his physical prowess.

He may not be particularly quick but his maturity and intelligence sets him apart from the rest of the AZ Alkmaar squad.

The 23-year-old is the orchestrator of his side's progressive play and he likes to sit deep in midfield and control the tempo of the game.

Liverpool's love affair with midfield gem Georginio Wijnaldum looks as though it could be coming to an end, with the two parties seemingly unable to come to an agreement during contract negotiations.

With Wijnaldum appearing to be on his way out of Anfield, what better way to plug the midfielder gap he'll leave than with another talented Dutchman seven years his junior.

Teun Koopmeiners has been earning plaudits from all over Europe for a good few seasons now, and the AZ Alkmaar man is reportedly on the Reds' shortlist this summer as they look to bring in midfield reinforcements.

Given the fact he's been his side's standout performer for many years now, it probably won't come as much of a surprise that Koopmeiners' been attracting interest from some big sides for quite a while.

Premier League clubs have been paying particular attention to his development with West Ham, Leeds and Everton all credited with an interest in securing his services.

However, the interest isn't limited to these shores, with Serie A giants Napoli, Roma and Inter also monitoring the youngster.
