Ruben van Bommel is a left winger, and his preferred foot is his right. He uses it with confidence, even with outside-of-the-boot flicks. The player has good vision and passing ability, both in short and long-distance passes. He has excellent shooting ability (precision and power), especially from distance. The player has a good header, but he has the physical and technical skills to improve in this fundamental. Moreover, he is great at making runs off the ball, especially at the far post but he must work on his finishing (he can score more goals).

During the possession phase, Ruben van Bommel prefers to play on the left side to cut inside, dribble, and take shots. He loves to create plays for teammates through lay-off passes, one-two passes, outside-of-the-boot flicks, and assists. Especially during attacking transitions, he often knocks the ball past the defender to beat him with speed. When play develops on the opposite wing, he uses his frame to launch late runs into the box, overwhelming smaller full-backs in aerial duels.
During the non-possession phase, Ruben van Bommel is highly involved, energetically defending and pressing opponents. He is dedicated to tracking back and supporting the defense when off the ball. He shows great positioning, regularly dropping into his own defensive third to support his left-back and intercept passes.
From a mental standpoint, Ruben van Bommel has a strong personality: he is very confident in his technical abilities, but he is also humble. He is not afraid to dribble, tackle, or take risks. The player also possesses a strong work ethic and a solid understanding of the game. On the other hand, his competitive fire can occasionally cross into over-eagerness. Moreover, the player is not always focused throughout the game.
As for the overall evaluation of the player, Ruben van Bommel is shown to be a good prospect with wide scope for improvement: He stands out above all for his technical and physical qualities, but still has to work on his build and therefore improve on playing with the back to the goal and staying concentrated during the entire match. A player with a similar profile in today's game is definitely Gakpo.
