Marco Wulfert Cornelis van Ginkel (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈmɑrkoːvɑŋˈɣɪŋkəl]ⓘ;[3] born 1 December 1992) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eredivisie club Vitesse. He can also play 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.[4] He suffered a serious knee injury early into his Chelsea career which ruled him out for seven months. He then went on season-long loans to AC Milan in 2014–15, Stoke City in 2015–16 and PSV from 2016 until 2018. He now plays for Vitesse.
At international level, Van Ginkel represented the Netherlands at the under-19 and under-21 levels before making his senior team debut against Germany in November 2012.[5]
