De Cuyper provides Belgium with an attacking outlet at left-back to balance Castagne’s more conservative profile on the opposite side. His overlap with Doku will be a recurring feature of Belgian attacks in this tournament.
Strengths
- Overlapping runs from full-back
- Left-footed crossing
Recent form
Brighton starter; cemented Belgium left-back spot under Garcia.
[unverified] Was originally a left-winger in the Club Brugge youth setup before being converted at 18.
