Hurzeler expressed his admiration for De Cuyper, stating that he is a creative left-back with a wealth of experience playing in the Champions League and domestic leagues. De Cuyper is known for his creative ability and has shown his versatility in playing different positions, although his main role with Brighton will likely be as a left-back.

De Cuyper has a strong reputation for his creative skills and has achieved success in the league and cup with Club Brugge in recent years. Despite his young age, he has demonstrated a winner's mentality, which Hurzeler believes will be an asset to the team. The manager is looking forward to working with De Cuyper.
