My Take
Wout Faes reads to me as the classic late-bloomer center-back. The Anderlecht academy stamped him as a prospect, but he never quite broke through there, and those loans to Heerenveen and Excelsior could easily have stalled a career. Instead he kept climbing, landing at Leicester City and now Monaco in Ligue 1, plus the Belgium national team. I respect defenders who build their game through patience rather than hype, because center-back is a position where mistakes are merciless and reputations are earned slowly. At 187 cm he isn't a towering wall, so I assume his value is reading the game more than pure physicality.
