Encyclopedic overview
Marco Wulfert Cornelis van Ginkel ( Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmɑrkoː vɑŋ ˈɣɪŋkəl] ; born 1 December 1992) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a defensive or attacking midfielder.
Van Ginkel began his career in the youth ranks of Vitesse, joining the Arnhem-based club as a six-year-old in 1999. After making his way through the various youth levels at the club, Van Ginkel debuted for the senior team in 2010 before sealing a transfer around £9 million to Chelsea in 2013. He suffered a serious knee injury early into his Chelsea career which ruled him out for seven months.
