Vicente Besuijen

Vicente Besuijen of Aberdeen was born in Bogotà, Colombia on 10 April 2001 (age 24).

Vicente Besuijen, a forward hailing from Colombia on 10 April 2001, adorns the number 17 jersey for Aberdeen. At 24 years of age, he is a presence to behold on the field standing 5ft 6in tall (1.7m) and weighing in at 9st 12lb (63kg).

Valued at approximately £424k (according to Transfermarkt), Besuijen has around 1 year and 1 month remaining on his contract with Aberdeen, set to expire on the 31st of May 2026.

Tracing his professional journey, Besuijen joined Roma in Italy's Serie A as a trainee in August 2017. By August 2020, he moved to ADO Den Haag in the Netherlands' Eerste Divisie. His time at ADO Den Haag was marked by 30 first team appearances and a solitary goal in the 2020 - 2021 season, followed by 22 appearances and six goals in the 2021 - 2022 season.

January 2022 saw Besuijen transfer to Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership for an undisclosed fee. He made 16 appearances and scored twice in the same season. In the following 2022 - 2023 season, he played 18 games and netted three times, and in the current 2024 - 2025 season, he has made 11 appearances and scored twice.

In January 2023, Besuijen was loaned out to Excelsior in the Netherlands. This stint was brief, with Besuijen making only two league appearances during the 2022 - 2023 season, before he returned to Aberdeen in June 2023.

Returning to Scotland, he continued his run, scoring two goals in 16 games in the 2021 - 2022 season and three in 18 the next season. Yet again, in the 2024 - 2025 season, he bagged two from 11 games.

January 2024 saw another loan move, this time to FC Emmen in the Netherlands. Here, Besuijen managed five goals in 15 games in the 2023 - 2024 season, before returning to Aberdeen in June 2024 to continue his Scottish stint.

Besuijen has also participated in the Aberdeen squad for the League Cup 2024 - 2025 with one start and three appearances from the bench.
