Dirk Kuyt (born July 22 1980, in Katwijk) is a Dutch football striker, who currently plays for Feyenoord.

As of the end of the 2005–06 season Kuyt has scored 122 times in the Eredivisie. He played for FC Utrecht from the 1998 until 2003, when he moved to current club Feyenoord, where he is contracted until 2007–08.

The opening game of the 2004–05 season marked Kuyt's first ever hat-trick against De Graafschap. He later went on to score four against ADO Den Haag.

Between March 2001 (playing with FC Utrecht) and April 2006 (Feyenoord) Kuyt played 179 consecutive matches.

Transfer speculation

Kuyt has recently been linked to moves to Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, Arsenal and Liverpool and has expressed an interest in playing in the FA Premier League, "I am happy at Feyenoord but would like to play in the Premier League."[1] "I love English football. I also think my style of play is completely right for the Premiership. A club like Newcastle would be my dream."[2]

Despite his stated desire to play for "a club like Newcastle" BBC News reported on 23 May 2006 that Newcastle were yet to make a move[2]. Then on 24 May they reported that Liverpool have made an approach[1].
