About the player
Espen van Ee made his senior career at Heerenveen. In August 2025 he moved on to FC Arouca, taking his football from the Eredivisie into the Portuguese Primeira Liga and into the number 6 shirt for his new club.
A right-footed central midfielder, Van Ee arrived at the Portuguese club with his development having taken place entirely within Dutch football before that move.
There is little yet to say about his time on the pitch at Arouca, and no senior international recognition or individual honours to point to at this stage of his career. His story so far is essentially that of the transfer itself: a Dutch academy product given the chance to test himself abroad.
