Guus Berend Til is a 28-year-old forward/attacking midfielder for PSV Eindhoven, born 22 December 1997 in Samfya, Zambia — his father's development work took the family there and to Mozambique before they settled in Amsterdam's Bijlmermeer neighbourhood when Til was 3. He came through AZ Alkmaar's academy, debuting for the first team in August 2016. This report is built entirely from public statistical sources (FotMob, Wikipedia, Transfermarkt) and press coverage — it is not a Tier 3 video-scouted assessment.
His career has moved in bursts rather than a straight line. Spartak Moscow paid €18M for him in August 2019, where he assisted twice on his Russian Premier League debut. A 2021-22 loan to Feyenoord produced an Eredivisie Player of the Month award in September 2021 (4 goals in 3 matches). He joined PSV permanently in July 2022 and scored a hat-trick on his debut in the Johan Cruyff Shield against Ajax.
2025-26 is the best statistical season of his career. 14 goals, 4 assists, 2,248 minutes, 7.42 average FotMob rating, just 2 yellow cards — largely playing as PSV's central striker rather than the attacking-midfield role he's more traditionally been listed at. That's a real, significant data point, not a small-sample fluke given the minutes involved.
The international storyline is the most unusual part of this profile. Til's last Netherlands cap before this cycle was June 2022 — a gap of roughly four years — before Ronald Koeman recalled him off the back of this season's form and named him in the 26-man World Cup 2026 squad (tournament number 16, separate from his PSV club number 20). Research confirms he was part of the Dutch squad for the 25 June 2026 Group F win over Tunisia (3-1, Netherlands topped the group and advanced to face Morocco), but could not confirm his exact minutes or starting status in that match — that detail is marked honestly as unconfirmed rather than assumed.
Match-file participation across the supplied PSV files is straightforward. He started and scored (32') against Groningen on 23 August 2025. He started against Telstar on 22 March 2026 but was replaced by Mauro Júnior at half-time in a 3-1 defeat. He started against Sparta Rotterdam on 11 April 2026 in a 2-0 win.
Empire FGA Status Note
Tier 1 data-complete · Tier 2/3 not scored · No final FGA composite. The open question worth tracking on video: is 14 goals a sustainable output level from a more central role, or a career-year spike at 28 that regresses next season? And does his level hold up against senior international opposition, which the Tunisia footage (once minutes are confirmed) should help answer directly.
