Vicente Besuijen, an athletic forward born in Colombia on 10th April 2001, currently earns his crust at Aberdeen FC where he fills the role of right-winger. At the age of 23, he stands at 5ft 6in (1.7m) in height, sporting the number 17 jersey and tipping the scales at 9st 12lb (63kg).
Being on the books of Aberdeen, his market value is valued around £423.5k, according to Transfermarkt. His contract with Aberdeen is due to expire on 31st May 2026, giving him 1 year and 4 months there to continue impressing.
He caught the eye of Italian side, Roma, in August 2017 and joined their ranks as a trainee. Moving across national borders, he transferred to ADO Den Haag in the Eerste Divisie in the Netherlands in August 2020. Showing a promising start, he made 30 first team appearances and netted one goal in his debut season. The following season, his performance stats bumped up to 22 appearances and 6 goals.
Seeking opportunities further afield, Besuijen made a change in January 2022 to Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership for an undisclosed fee. Despite the first trie cock-a-hoop season displaying 16 appearances and two goals, he outdid himself the following season with 18 appearances and three goals.
During January 2023, he took a short stint on loan to Excelsior in the Eerste Divisie in the Netherlands, before returning back to Aberdeen in June of the same year. Back on familiar turf, he continued his goal scoring contributions with personal bests in the following seasons.
Yet another loan transfer took place in January 2024, with Besuijen transferring to FC Emmen in the Eerste Divisie in Netherlands. Following 15 appearances and five goals, the favourable agreement concluded in June 2024. After his return to Aberdeen, he continues to regularly feature in the first team line-up, adding to his goal tally in the current 2024-25 season.
To top things off, Besuijen had a taste of the League Cup in the 2024-25 season where he had the chance to start once and make three appearances off the bench for Aberdeen. Nevertheless, his goal contributions prop him up as a valuable asset to the Aberdeen side to this day.
