Gjivai Zechiël, born on 1 June 2004 (age 22), is a Dutch centre midfielder with Feyenoord. Compact at 5ft 7in (1.71m), he is not built like a traditional midfield enforcer, but his recent record points to a player with a useful knack for getting beyond the ball.
His most productive league season came in 2025-26 at FC Utrecht, where he scored eight goals in 34 appearances. That was a proper step forward rather than just a tidy development year, and it gave his profile a bit more substance.
Back at Feyenoord in 2026-27, Zechiël has started sharply, with five goals in seven Eredivisie appearances. Across all competitions for the club that season, he has made nine appearances and scored five times, including one outing in the KNVB Beker and one in the Champions League.
His market value is around £6m, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, his career is still being shaped, but the outline is clear enough: a young Dutch midfielder who used a strong Utrecht season to return to Feyenoord with more end product attached to his game.
