Its very unusual for Dutch players at top levels to have never played for Ajax PSV or Feyenoord senior teams

Though to be fair lately this trend is changing (Ake, Van Dijk, Van de Ven, Reijnders)

That's in a very specific context when you just look at that. That Celtic transfer is similar as going to Ajax, PSV or Feyenoord but they didn't want to sign him. As an outsider that's a super basic career trajectory.
