My Take
Bakker intrigues me as a modern left-sided utility man, equally at home at full-back, wing-back, or in midfield. Coming out of the Dutch system in Purmerend and now competing in Serie A with Atalanta, he's chosen one of football's most demanding defensive cultures, which I read as real ambition rather than comfort. The up-and-down left flank is thankless work, the position that runs the most in transition, so handing it to a young player signals genuine trust from coaches. Born in 2000, he's still ascending, and I'm quietly curious how far his game can grow under that pressure.
