Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

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

Club career

Linssen made his professional debut in 2008 for Fortuna Sittard, the club where he spent much of his youth.[4] He went on to play for MVV, VVV-Venlo, Heracles Almelo and FC Groningen,[5] before signing for Vitesse in 2017.[4]

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.[4] 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.[4] That put him just one goal behind Steven Berghuis in the league scoring charts.[4] In total, Linssen scored 47 goals and added a further 20 assists in 113 matches for Vitesse.[5]

On 6 July 2020, Linssen signed a three-year deal with Feyenoord, joining on a free transfer from Vitesse.[4] Linssen was Feyenoord's third signing of the summer after Mark Diemers and Christian Conteh.[5]

After two seasons with Feyenoord, he signed with J1 League club Urawa Red Diamonds in a full transfer on 27 June 2022; the first overseas experience in his footballing career.[3] He made his unofficial debut for the Urawa Reds in a friendly match against Paris Saint-Germain on 23 July, replacing Yusuke Matsuo at half-time.[6] His debut was short-lived, however, as he suffered a muscle injury just minutes into his debut, sidelining him for several months.[7] He made his return to the pitch in his official debut for the club on 1 October, coming off the bench in the 63rd minute for Yoshio Koizumi in a J1 League match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima. He provided his first assist minutes later, extending a cross to Kai Shibato for a goal, as Urawa Reds lost 4–1.[8] On 23 April 2023, he scored his first goal in the J1 League in a 1–1 draw against Kawasaki Frontale.[9]

Personal life

He is the younger brother of former professional footballer Edwin Linssen.[10]
