De Cuyper has had a very successful time with Club Brugge, helping the team win the Belgian Pro League in the 2023-24 season and the Belgian Cup in the previous season. He also made his debut for the Belgium national team in June 2024 and has since earned 10 international caps, scoring three goals.

Brighton's coach, Fabian Huerzeler, is very impressed with De Cuyper's skills. He said that De Cuyper has a great reputation for creativity and has shown his ability to play in different positions. However, the coach sees him primarily as a left-back.

Brighton will begin their new league season at home against Fulham on August 16th.

De Cuyper's signing is expected to bring new energy and skills to the team, and fans are looking forward to seeing him play.
