Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong has been a revelation since joining the club from Ajax in the summer.

Deemed as one of the best midfielders in world football, the Dutchman has been awarded with an overall rating of 7.23/10 for his performances in a Barcelona shirt this season (via WhoScored).
De Jong’s elite passing ability is one of the strongest aspects to his game, proven by the fact that this season he has acquired a pass completion rate of 92.5% – one of the highest of any player in La Liga this term (via WhoScored).
The 22-year-old has registered a goal and an assist so far this term, per Transfermarkt, and has been a regular starter in Ernesto Valverde’s starting XI, starting eight of Barca’s nine league fixtures this term.
With Barcelona’s El Clasico match-up against Real Madrid postponed over the weekend, the players were given time off, with De Jong opting to unwind with his girlfriend in a sensational penthouse apartment overlooking the beach.
Here’s how Barca fans reacted to his post on Twitter:
