Maxim De Cuyper, born in Belgium on 22 December 2000 (age 25), is a left-back with Brighton & Hove Albion, where he wears the No 29 shirt. His current market value is around £10m, according to Transfermarkt.
His senior profile was built in Belgium, with his most productive league season coming at Westerlo in 2022-23. He scored eight goals in 33 appearances that year, a useful return from left-back and enough to make him look like more than a tidy wide defender.
By 2025-26, De Cuyper was a regular first-team presence at Brighton. He made 30 Premier League appearances, scoring twice, and added one League Cup outing, taking him to 31 appearances and two goals in all competitions for the club.
His career so far is straightforward: a Belgian left-back who made his mark at Westerlo and has since held down a place in Brighton’s Premier League squad.
