Jerdy Schouten (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsxʌutə(n)]; born 12 January 1997) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eredivisie club PSV and the Netherlands national team.
Schouten made his professional debut in the Eredivisie for ADO Den Haag on 10 December 2016 in a game against N.E.C.[1] Ahead of the 2017–18 season, he joined Eerste Divisie club SC Telstar where he became a regular starter in central midfield.[2]
In 2018, Schouten signed for Eredivisie club SBV Excelsior.[3] For his performances in the 2018–19 Eredivisie season, Schouten was voted by the fans as the club's player of the year.[4]
On 4 July 2019, Schouten signed for Serie A club Bologna.[5] He spent four seasons in Italy, making 109 appearances for the Rossoblù in all competitions.[6]
On 16 August 2023, Schouten signed a five-year contract with PSV Eindhoven after the Dutch club agreed a fee with Bologna for Schouten's transfer.[7] He made 38 appearances in his first season with PSV as the club won the Eredivisie title for the first time in six seasons.[8]
On 26 July 2025, Schouten was appointed as the new captain of PSV Eindhoven.[9] On 6 August 2025, he signed a new contract with PSV, keeping him at the club until 2030.[10] Later that season, in a 4–3 win over FC Utrecht, Schouten suffered a severe anterior cruciate ligament injury, effectively ruling him out from the 2026 FIFA World Cup and sidelining him for the rest of the calendar year.[11][12]

Schouten was first called up to the Netherlands national team on 27 May 2022 for the UEFA Nations League matches against Belgium, Wales and Poland.[13] He made his senior debut in the game against Wales,[14] playing the first 67 minutes and assisting midfield partner Teun Koopmeiners' opening goal of the Netherlands' 2–1 win in Cardiff.[15]
