Chong is the player Curaçao need to make games dangerous. The team will spend most of each match defending, but the moments the ball reaches him in transition are the moments their opponents have to take seriously. He is also, at 26, very visibly the future of the project: a top-five-league-adjacent player who chose this small nation when he didn’t have to.

Strengths

dribbling at pace from the left
right-footed cutting in from wide
tight-area combination play
experience in English football

Recent form

Sheffield United regular in the Championship through 2025-26.

Born in Willemstad, Curaçao, before moving to the Netherlands as a child — his international switch was effectively a return to his birthplace.
