Across 21 matches Kleyn has established himself as a high-volume workhorse, averaging over eight tackles per game and consistently contributing with ball in hand. His defensive output stands out most sharply — a single-game peak of 20 tackles underlines his capacity to shoulder an outsized share of the contact work when required. He carries reliably rather than explosively, making him a dependable platform forward whose influence is measured in accumulated pressure rather than headline moments.
