Bryan Linssen

Bryan Linssen (born 8 October 1990) is a Dutch professional footballer, who currently plays for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie.

He formerly played for Fortuna Sittard, MVV, VVV-Venlo, Heracles Almelo, FC Groningen and Vitesse.

Club Career

Linssen made his professional debut in 2008 for Fortuna Sittard, the club where he spent much of his youth. He went on to play for MVV, VVV-Venlo, Heracles Almelo and FC Groningen, before signing for Vitesse in 2017.

Linssen scored 28 goals in 63 appearances in his first two Eredivisie seasons at the Arnhem club, an average of almost a goal every other match. He continued his fine form in front of goal last season, netting 14 times in 26 appearances before coronavirus hit and the Eredivisie was abandoned. That put him just one goal behind Steven Berghuis in the league scoring charts. In total, Linssen scored 47 goals and added a further 20 assists in 113 matches for Vitesse.

On 6 July 2020, Linssen signed a three-year deal with Feyenoord, joining on a free transfer from Vitesse. Linssen was Feyenoord’s third signing of the summer after Mark Diemers and Christian Conteh.
