Maxim De Cuyper, born on 22 December 2000 (age 25), is a Belgian left-back with Brighton & Hove Albion, where he wears squad number 29. His current market value is around £10m, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came at Westerlo in 2022–23, when he scored eight goals in 33 appearances. For a full-back, that is a decent attacking return without requiring anyone to pretend he was reinventing the position.
At Brighton in 2026–27, De Cuyper has made eight appearances in all competitions and scored three goals. That includes five Premier League appearances with one goal, one League Cup appearance with one goal, and two Conference League qualifying appearances with one goal.
His career so far has been built around steady progression from Belgium to the Premier League, with Westerlo providing the clearest early evidence of his attacking output from left-back.
