Arthur Vermeeren is a Belgian central defensive midfielder, born on 7 February 2005 (age 21), now with RB Leipzig. He wears squad number 48 and is valued at around £21.5m by Transfermarkt.
His senior breakthrough came at Royal Antwerp, where the 2023-24 league season was his most productive: 21 appearances and one goal. That is modest enough in scoring terms, but defensive midfielders are not usually employed to pad out the highlights reel.
Vermeeren has since moved on to RB Leipzig, where his 2026-27 campaign has begun with one Bundesliga appearance. His career is still early, but the outline is clear enough: a young Belgian midfielder who established himself at Antwerp and is now trying to build a place in Germany.
