A look at Joshua Zirkzee’s career so far
Following his family’s relocation to Spijkenisse, Zirkzee started playing football at the age of five for VV Hekelingen. He played with his cousin Nelson Amadin in the youth division of Spartaan ’20 in 2010 after making an early impression.
In 2013, he departed for ADO Den Haag, and in 2016, he arrived at the Feyenoord Youth Academy. Zirkzee left the Feyenoord academy in his home Netherlands after a year to join Bayern Munich’s junior setup.
The Dutchman moved on after making just 17 first-team appearances for Bayern Munich after leaving Feyenoord in 2017. He struggled to establish himself for the German squad. On March 1, 2019, Zirkzee scored a hat-trick in his Bayern Munich II debut. Just one day later, the under-19 team overcame 1. FC Nürnberg 2-1 thanks to a goal he scored.
After he scored eighteen goals in all competitions during his productive loan stint with Anderlecht in the 2021–2022 season, Bologna signed him long-term in August 2022. Zirkzee has 40 appearances for his Serie A team, with 10 goals and 6 assists. His contract with the Red and Blues expires in June 2026.
