Club Brugge has been able to integrate many talents from its academy into the first team in recent seasons, and this trend seems set to continue. Several young prodigies are ready to knock on the door of the elite.
An evolving academy
For a long time, youth training occupied a secondary place at the multiple-title champion. But in recent years, Club Brugge has undergone a major transformation. The youth department has been considerably professionalized, and the integration of young talents into the first team has accelerated.
Young people on the rise
The effort paid off. Charles De Ketelaere, trained at the club, became one of the most lucrative sales in the history of the Blauw en Zwart after several successful seasons with the first team. Currently, several other young people trained at the club are part of the main squad. Joaquin Seys, for example, is one of the revelations of the season and even earned a national selection. As for Maxim De Cuyper, he is now a regular Red Devil. Others like Kyriani Sabbe, Chemsdine Talbi and Jorne Spileers also seem to have a bright future.
A new attacker ready to emerge
In the ranks of Club NXT, a new generation is in preparation. According to The Latest Newsa list of seven young Bruges talents ready to join the first team includes a name that particularly attracts attention: Kaye Furo.
Furo, a rising star coveted abroad
This young 17-year-old striker has already shown great qualities with the youth teams and recently took his place on the first team bench for the first time. His rapid rise suggests that it won’t be long before he makes his official debut. According to HLN sources, “it would be surprising if Furo didn’t have a great career.”
The player, formerly trained at Antwerp, has also attracted interest from foreign clubs, including Leipzig and other top teams in Europe. To maintain it, the Club had to make significant efforts. Boasting great speed, impactful depth of play and impressive physical power, Furo is described as a complete and promising striker.
