Age: 20
Club: Club Brugge
Nationality: Belgian
Position: Midfielder/forward
Senior appearances/goals/assists: 89/11/14
Just imagine it as two female forenames: Kate-Lara.
De Ketelaere made his senior debut for Brugge aged 18 in September 2019. His Champions League debut came a month later – small matter of a group-stage fixture against Paris Saint-Germain. Since then he’s made a total of 14 appearances in the competition, including all of his side’s games inGroup A this term. He’s also the first Belgian player to score more than one Champions League goal before their 20th birthday; not bad when you consider the competition.

Increasingly he’s being deployed as a false nine (and has been compared to Liverpool’s Firmino for his selfless team-first efforts), but he’s pretty versatile. So versatile, in fact, that he could well have become a professional tennis player instead, but ended up concentrating on football.
Yep. Club Brugge legend Gert Verheyen thinks so too. “His versatility is a huge asset. He is complete, with a mix of physical and technical qualities.”
Not by the sounds of it: he still lives with his mum and still has Brugge posters on his walls.
He’s said, “I regularly look back at my matches. My mum sometimes wants to watch together, but I don't like that: everything looks good for her, whereas I prefer to look at it a little more critically.”
Let’s leave it there.
