Arjen Robben. Biography
Arjen Robben is a winger of Bayern Munich. He was born on January 23, 1984 in Bedum, the Netherlands.
Arjen grew up in the youth system of Bedum, in his native town. After some years in the academy Robben drew the attention of Groningen scouts, where he eventually moved.
In 2000 Arjen stopped playing for FC Groningen youth team and joined the club’s first team. He signed his first professional contract with the club as well, thus switching to pro-football. During the first two seasons for Groningen, from 2000 till 2002, Arjen scored 8 goals in 50 matches.
In 2002 Robben signed his second contract with PSV. The club reckoned upon Robben’s talent, so the head coach was right to include the young winger in the starting line-up at once. Arjen didn’t only assist a lot, but was also efficient in goals. For two seasons he was one of the key players in the club scoring 17 goals in 56 matches.
In 2004 Arjen became the top-priority for Chelsea FC from the English Premier League. For several seasons he was one of the crucial midfielders of the club. José Mourinho believed in Arjen’s talent and used him on different positions, always finding a place for the Dutchman. By the end of the career in England Robben’s appearances became rare and he fell out of favor with the head coach. Thus, till the year 2007 Arjen Robben netted 15 goals in 67 matches for the club.
In 2007 the Spanish Real Madrid purchased the Dutch winger for a fee of €36.55 million, the 5th most expensive transfer in the club’s history. For two seasons Arjen made the starting lineup quite often, playing on the wing of midfield. From 2007 till 2009 Robben made 50 appearances and scored 11 goals for Real Madrid.
In 2009 the winger transferred to Bayern Munich for €25 million and signed a long-term contract with the club, where he currently plays. From 2009 Arjen has played more than 100 games for the club, being an extremely scoring winger.
From 2003 Arjen is a regular of the Netherlands senior team. He has already made 70 appearances and contributed 19 goals.
