Armando Obispo #18

Profile

Joining PSV at a young age he played together with Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) and Jordan Teze (Monaco) among others. Hugely talented he had several injury issues but came back stronger each time. He is now a reliable centre-back for the first team and has won the league three years in a row and gained valuable Champions League experience. Having represented the Netherlands at every youth level from Under-15 upwards, a route to the senior team looked within reach, but the call never came and opted to play for Curaçao, the country of his father. Obispo stands out for his strength in one v ones and his build-up play. “He’s also an excellent header of the ball and has an outstanding left foot,” says his PSV manager, Peter Bosz.
