Robin Gosens (born 5 July 1994) is a Dutch-German professional footballer who plays as a midfielder, or left-back for Atalanta in Serie A.

Club career

Born in Emmerich am Rhein, Gosens appeared for local clubs before joining Vitesse's youth setup on 4 July 2012.[1] On 13 August 2013, he signed his first professional deal with the club.[2] Prior to this, he failed at a trial workout with Bundesliga giant Borussia Dortmund. Gosens himself described it a fiasco.[3]

On 14 January 2014, Gosens was loaned to FC Dordrecht until the end of the season.[4] He made his professional debut three days later, starting in a 1–1 home draw against SBV Excelsior.[5]

Gosens scored his first professional goal on 7 February, netting the second in a 6–1 home defeat of FC Emmen.[6] He appeared in 20 matches during the campaign (play-offs included), as his side finished second and returned to Eredivisie after a nineteen-year absence.

On 29 May 2014, Gosens' loan was renewed for a further year,[7] and he made his Eredivisie debut on 9 August, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 away win against SC Heerenveen.[8] He scored his first goal in the competition on 20 September, netting his side's only in a 1–1 away draw against Excelsior.[9]

On 4 June 2015, it was announced that Gosens had moved on a free transfer to Heracles Almelo.[10]

On 2 June 2017, it was announced that Gosens had transferred to Italian side Atalanta.[11] On 18 September 2019, Gosens made his Champions League debut against Dinamo Zagreb.[12] Gosens established himself as one of the top wing-backs in the Serie A, excelling both offensively and defensively. During the 2019-2020 season, he was one of Atalanta's top goalscorers of the season scoring 9 goals, an unprecedentedly high number for a defender.

Personal life

Gosens was born in Germany to a German mother and a Dutch father, and holds both Dutch and German passports.[13]
