Vicente Besuijen, hailing from Colombia and born on 10 April 2001, has proved himself as a formidable forward primarily playing as a right winger for Aberdeen. Standing at 5ft 6in (1.7m) tall and boasting a weight of 9st 12lb (63kg), the 23-year-old upholds the number 17 jersey. Transfermarkt assesses his current market value to be around £425,000. He currently has 1.5 years remaining on his contract with Aberdeen, due to expire on 31 May 2026.
His career began in the revered Roma youth system in the Serie A in Italy, joining as a trainee in August 2017. Besuijen subsequently made a significant move from Serie A's Roma to ADO Den Haag in the Eerste Divisie in the Netherlands in August 2020. During his debut season with ADO Den Haag in 2020 - 2021, he demonstrated promising form, making 30 first team appearances and scoring a solitary goal in league matches. In the following season (2021 - 2022), Besuijen improved his tally, registering six goals in just 22 first team appearances.
In January 2022, he transferred to the Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen for an undisclosed fee. His first function in the Scottish Premiership was promising, featuring in 16 first team matches with Aberdeen for the remainder of the 2021 - 2022 season, and netting two goals. Besuijen delivered similar performances in the subsequent seasons, consistently appearing in over a dozen matches per season and contributing goals as well.
However, as part of his Aberdeen tenure, Besuijen has frequently been loaned out to clubs in the Netherlands. He spent short stints with Excelsior in the Eerste Divisie in January 2023, featuring in only a pair of matches. After returning to Aberdeen in June 2023, Besuijen then continued his loan journey in January 2024, this time joining FC Emmen in the Eerste Divisie. He marked an impressive tally during his time with FC Emmen, scoring five goals in 15 appearances.
Currently, in the 2024 - 2025 season, Besuijen is back in the Scottish Premiership with Aberdeen, making nine first team appearances so far and scoring two goals. He has also been involved in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for Aberdeen with one start and three appearances as a substitute.
