Denzel Justus Morris Dumfries (born 18 April 1996) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a right-back or right wing-back for Italian Serie A club Inter Milan and the Netherlands national team. Known for his attacking abilities, he is widely regarded as one of the best right-backs in the world.

Dumfries began his senior career in 2014 at Sparta Rotterdam, helping them gain promotion to the Eredivisie in 2016 as the Eerste Divisie Talent of the Year. In 2017, he joined Heerenveen, before moving to PSV the following year, eventually becoming the club captain. In 2021, Dumfries joined Serie A side Inter Milan, winning the league title in his third season.

Born in the Netherlands to an Aruban father, Dumfries initially represented Aruba internationally in 2014, before switching allegiance to the Netherlands. He made his senior debut in 2018, and represented the Netherlands at UEFA Euro 2020, the 2022 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2024.

## Early life

[edit]

Denzel Justus Morris Dumfries was born on 18 April 1996 in Rhoon, South Holland, 6.8 miles away from Rotterdam to an Aruban father Boris, and a Surinamese mother Marleen.[4] His parents named him after American actor Denzel Washington.[5][6]

Growing up, Dumfries said he was determined to make it as a professional footballer, for which he was ridiculed and mocked by his peers, due to his lack of technical skills at the time.[7][8] But Dumfries proved his doubters wrong, saying in an interview with Voetbal International: "I knew I would become a professional football player and I said it to everyone: I'm sure I'll make the Dutch national team. I knew that they all thought that doesn't make sense. But I have always proclaimed it. The people who have not seen it in me have been limited in their vision. They only looked at me at the time, but they should have looked further. How can he develop? I think everyone should look at themselves that way, not limit yourself to someone small. You have to look up, not down. What can I achieve, what is my potential and how am I going to get there? I knew exactly what I had to do to take certain steps."[9]

## Club career

[edit]

### Sparta Rotterdam

[edit]

As a Rotterdam native, Dumfries began his football career at Spartaan '20 and spent two years before he was released by the club for being "not considered good enough as a boy" and was not well liked by teammates and even trainers.[10][11][12][7] Shortly after, Dumfries then joined Smitshoek, having to "sign up for himself" and said about his time at the club, saying: "As a youth I could already go to Spartaan'20, but that was difficult. My parents always had to bring me, I had to wait until I could ride my own bike. It took some getting used to. Smitshoek was a village, this was in the city. You had to fight for your place, maybe I was a bit too timid among all those city boys. You might find it hard to believe now, but I was a bit shy and reserved. They were all men, tough guys."[10] When he started out playing football, Dumfries played as a striker before converting to defender.[8] Dumfries then signed up for amateur side Barendrecht and spent a year at the club.[5][10] At one point, Feyenoord scouted the player but they rejected him, claiming that "he's not good enough."[13][11]

Dumfries then left Barendrecht for Sparta Rotterdam in 2014.[14][9] Having progressed with the club's youth system within months, he signed his first professional contract with Sparta Rotterdam on a multi-year contract, keeping him at the club until 2017.[15] Dumfries then made his professional debut on 20 February 2015 against FC Emmen, coming on as a second-half substitute, in a 2–1 loss.[16] He later made two more appearances in the 2014–15 season, both coming on as a substitute.[17]

At the start of the 2015–16 season, Dumfries started out on the substitute bench before he established himself in the first team, playing in the right–back position and helped Sparta Rotterdam become contenders for promotion to Eredivisie.[18] On 7 November 2015, Dumfries signed a contract extension with the club, keeping him at the club until 2019.[19] He then scored his first goal in his professional career, in a 5–2 win against RKC Waalwijk on 18 January 2016.[20] Dumfries started in every match, playing in the right–back position, to help the club maintain their promotion to Eredivisie until he was suspended for one match for picking up five yellow cards this season.[21] After serving a one match suspension, Dumfries returned to the starting line–up against Almere City on 14 March 2016, as Sparta Rotterdam lost 1–0.[22] He later helped the club beat Jong Ajax 3–1 on 11 April 2016 to confirm their promotion to the Eredivisie next season.[23] Throughout the 2015–16 season, Dumfries' performance led to Dutch media, calling him the best player in the league.[24][25] For his performance, he won both Eerste Divisie Talent of the Year Award and the Bronze Bull.[26] At the end of the 2015–16 season, Dumfries went on to make thirty–three appearances and scoring once in all competitions.

At the start of the 2016–17 season, Dumfries said about the new season, saying: "So the Eredivisie came for me at a good time. I want to keep developing myself, so it's good to have better and smarter opponents against me now. They force me to be smarter in choosing the moments I can come up with, but I think I picked this up pretty quickly."[27] He continued to establish himself in the first team, playing in the right–back position.[28] However, Dumfries received a red card for a second bookable offence, in a 1–1 draw against AZ Alkmaar on 2 October 2016.[29] After serving a one match suspension, he returned to the starting line–up, in a 1–0 loss against PSV Eindhoven on 22 October 2016.[30] Dumfries then scored his first Eredivisie goal, in a 3–2 loss against Excelsior on 19 November 2016.[31] After serving a one match suspension in the next match, he returned to the starting line–up, in a 6–1 loss against Feyenoord on 4 December 2016.[32] However, Dumfries found himself competing with new signing Janne Saksela over the right–back position.[33] As a result, he was dropped to the substitute in favour of Saksela for two separate matches.[34] Despite this, Dumfries continued to regain his first team place, playing in the right–back position for the rest of the 2016–17 season.[35] He later helped Sparta Rotterdam avoid relegation after the club won the last two matches of the season against FC Twente and Go Ahead Eagles.[36] A month after leaving Sparta Rotterdam, Dumfries was given a farewell send-off prior to the club's match against PEC Zwolle, along with departing teammates Mart Dijkstra, Rick Ketting and David Mendes da Silva.[37]

### Heerenveen

[edit]

In October 2016, Dumfries stated that he wanted to leave Sparta Rotterdam in hopes of playing in a higher level.[38] In summer 2017, Dumfries joined Heerenveen to replace Belgium-bound Stefano Marzo and signed a four–year contract with the club.[39]

## International career

[edit]

Dumfries scored a goal against the same opposition in their second encounter a few days later.[122]

However, Dumfries maintained his desires to represent Netherlands because he believed playing for the Oranje was his international future.[5][4][121] During his success in the UEFA Euro 2020, then Aruba manager Giovanni Franken told in an interview how people in Aruba were critical of Dumfries' decision to reject the national team, calling him a "traitor" at the time.[123]

### Netherlands

[edit]

Ronald Koeman named Dumfries in the Netherlands squad for the first time in October 2018.[131] He played his first international match against Germany on 13 October 2018, as the Oranje national team won 3–0.[132] After the match, Dumfries reflected on his debut, saying: "On the way to the game I had a moment of: this is really what I wanted and in which no one believed in. At that moment you are really proud of yourself. A fantastic moment for me, I worked hard for this."[133] Although he was featured in a 2–0 win against France, Netherlands qualified for League A in the UEFA Nations League where they would qualify to the final four after drawing with Germany on the final match day, beating France by head-to-head records.[134] During a 4–0 win against Belarus on 21 March 2019, Dumfries started in a European qualifier match and played 68 minutes before being substituted, due to suffering from a groin injury.[135] But he quickly recovered and was featured in a match against Germany on 24 March 2019, as Netherlands lost 3–2.[136]

In May 2019, Dumfries was called up to the Netherlands squad for the inaugural UEFA Nations League Finals.[137] He started the whole game against England in the semi–finals on 6 June 2019 and helped Oranje win 3–1 to reach the final.[138] After the match, his performance was praised by FC Update, saying: "Without him, the Netherlands would probably have fallen 0-2 behind".[139] However, in the final against Portugal three days later on 9 June 2019, Dumfries started the whole game, as Oranje lost 1–0.[140] After the match, his performance came under criticism for his poor display throughout the match, a criticism he knowledge, calling it "sloppy".[141] Between 2018 and 2019, Dumfries fought for his place in with Netherlands, competing in the right–back position with Kenny Tete and Joël Veltman.[142]

Having not played for Oranje for almost a year, Dumfries made his first appearances for Netherlands against Italy on 7 September 2020, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute, in a 1–0 loss.[143] In a UEFA Nations League match against Bosnia and Herzegovina on 15 November 2020, he set up two goals for Oranje, as they won 3–1.[144] In May 2021, Dumfries was named in the Dutch 34-man preliminary squad for Euro 2020 on 14 May 2021, with the 26-man squad to be announced on 26 May.[145] The tournament which is taken place in the summer of 2021 due to the previous year's postponement as a result of Coronavirus.[146] He was included in the final 26-man squad on 26 May.[147] Dutch football expert James Rowe told BBC Sport that prior to the start of the tournament, De Boer's favoured 5-3-2 formation would suit Dumfries and the marauding wing-back has looked more like a right-sided forward at times.[5][148] On 13 June 2021, Dumfries scored his first goal for the Netherlands, netting the winner in a 3–2 win over Ukraine at UEFA Euro 2020.[149] After the match, FC Update said about his performance: "A taxi can go fast, but if it doesn't drop you off at your destination, it's of little use. With his energy, Dumfries was great in the first half, but the finish was dramatic. He was (in)directly involved in both the first and second Orange goal, although he did not receive an assist before that and in fact he was annoyingly offside for the second goal. But the goal stood still and with his striking header (his first international goal!) it was still Dumfries' evening."[150] He followed this up with a goal in the next game against Austria in a 2–0 win.[151] Having helped Netherlands qualify for the knockout stage, Dumfries was named Best Eleven of the group stage tournament.[152] The Dutch were knocked out in the Round of 16 after a 2–0 loss against Czech Republic on 27 June at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest.[153]

On 29 May 2024, Dumfries was named in the Netherlands' squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[156]

## Style of play

[edit]

Former teammate Daniël Esajas said about Dumfries: "As humble, almost shy as Denzel could be off the field, he was so convinced of his footballing qualities. He never doubted that he would reach the absolute top. Denzel had one quality that many of his peers lacked: an unwavering commitment. But he sometimes took it too far. He wanted to give the pass and then head the ball in himself. I can still see Denzel racing across that field. Then he would have picked up the ball from his own keeper. And there he then went with those big steps, in one straight line to the other side, directly towards his goal. Denzel wasn't even super wide, rather tall. But he was just unbearable for opponents. He went right through them like an elephant. Boom Boom Boom!".[11] Dumfries said about his position: "Still, I think eliminating the opponent is the most important task of a right back. You are, after all, on the defensive. I can make quite a few meters and I like to do that. It's part of my game. With personal trainer Hans Kroon we do a lot of strength training so that we become stronger every day. I may have to act smarter sometimes, but things like that come with time. Every game I get better and I gain experience. I can use that experience, for example, to ensure that I never get into positional problems again."[8] He further stated: "They used to say I had ADHD, but I like to give gas, I always want to do that. I was thinking about it and thought: these are nice games that I play. I played them last year and not the year before. Very nice. It is addictive to act at the highest level."[157]

Then manager Alex Pastoor said about Dumfries, saying: "He has a lot of conditions to be able to reach the absolute top. Just look at his physique. If you can come up eighty times per half... Those are things that ultimately the biggest clubs in the world fall for."[25] His performance against Ajax on 23 October 2018 led former defender Ben Wijnstekers commenting: "I think he's great. Dumfries led the fight and that was typical of PSV. He was incredibly aggressive in the duels, bit into his opponent and kept coming up. He has an enormous condition and was very irritating for Ajax. Such a player is great to have on your team. He is sometimes too hot-tempered and because of his enthusiasm he occasionally makes unnecessary violations. He has to be a little smarter in that. And in terms of standing up, he might also be able to dose a little more."[158] Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport compared Dumfries to the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, writing: "In the beginning nobody trusts it, but you had better invest in it", which he responded by laughing in the press conference.[5] De Telegraaf reporter John de Wolf commented about Dumfries, saying: "Denzel Dumfries played less conspicuously this time, not as compelling as usual. That's possible once. I worked with Denzel at Jong Sparta and later experienced as an assistant how he came to the first of Sparta. That was four years ago and when you see what he has achieved in the meantime, it is very impressive. You could then did not predict that he would achieve this. But Denzel stood out with his head power, jumping power and speed. I got to know him as a very enthusiastic boy, who had the absolute drive and passion to improve himself. It is admirable how he has done that."[159]

Both Netherlands manager Koeman and then PSV Eindhoven manager Mark van Bommel praised Dumfries' development during the 2018–19 season.[160] However, he faced criticism for playing the ball back instead of pressing more forward often.[161] Dumfries responded to criticism, saying: "Then it's up to me to remain undisturbed. Just do my own thing and don't go crazy, to prove myself extra. Do everything I can to defend that goal. It's nice that I get that ball off the line."[162] Former PSV Eindhoven manager Aad de Mos believed that Dumfries had the potential to be in the national team squad, though he thought that Dumfries needed to improve on his crosses.[163] Dumfries said in an interview on the club's website that he has improved on his crosses since then.[97] Former PSV Eindhoven player Kenneth Perez described Dumfries as "someone who stands out for his team".[164]

## Personal life

[edit]

Dumfries has two cousins, Jason and Jahfarr Wilnis, who are both kickboxers.[66] In September 2020, he became a father for the first time.[165]

In May 2020, Dumfries was among several players and staff members who agreed to give up a month's salary, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[166] On 25 October 2020, Dumfries tested positive for COVID-19 amid the pandemic in the Netherlands.[91]

Dumfries has spoken out about racism, saying: "I don't like to play the victim role, but such incidents do come. I want to hear what drives someone, to think that this is funny. I am very open about that. I want to start such a conversation. That is the only way to learn to understand each other. In a football team, jokes are part and parcel, but it is always done within frameworks and with respect. It is binding, we also show interest in each other, regardless of origin or religion. That is what makes a team and that should be the case for the whole of society apply."[167]

Dumfries is a devout Christian, and states that he prays along with his fellow Netherlands teammates before every match.[168]
