Maxime De Cuyper - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Two assists in 3-0 win De Cuyper assisted twice to go with seven crosses (four accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 3-0 win over Wolverhampton.

Impact De Cuyper assisted Jack Hinshelwood and Lewis Dunk for the opening two goals as Brighton went on to beat Wolves 3-0. He returned to the starting lineup for the 15th time this season but hasn't started since February 8th. These two assists bring him up to three for the season and his six chances created were the first time he has completed more than four in a game this season.

Assists off bench in win De Cuyper assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-0 win versus Chelsea.

Impact De Cuyper came off the bench in the 77th minute and made an instant impact, setting up Danny Welbeck's stoppage-time goal with a sharp, well-weighted cutback that the English striker finished off with a simple tap-in to seal Brighton's 3-0 win. In just under 15 minutes on the pitch, he logged one assist and created one chance, flashing the same directness and delivery from the left side that has turned him into a steady attacking weapon at left-back all season long.

Back available after illness De Cuyper (illness) is back available for Saturday's clash against Fulham after recovering from his illness, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to Andy N...

Impact De Cuyper missed the last two games across all competitions due to illness but has now fully recovered, as he is back in contention for Saturday's clash against the Cottagers. De Cuyper had been a regular starter for the Seagulls in recent weeks prior to his absence and should claim back a similar role moving forward, either in defense or on the wing.

Dealing with illness De Cuyper didn't play Monday against Bournemouth due to illness, Andy Naylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact De Cuyper had failed to start in only one of the previous five EPL matches before being excluded from the squad against the Cherries. The wide player is now questionable for the upcoming visit to Fulham, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to play significant minutes. Ferdi Kadioglu could continue to feature at left-back in case of an extended absence for De Cuyper.

Three crosses Wednesday De Cuyper recorded three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 60th minute.

Impact De Cuyper would come back into the starting XI Wednesday after featuring off the bench last contest, starting on 12 of his 18 appearances this season. He would have to defend most of the match but still managed three crosses in the attack. That said, the defender has two goals this season, although he is without an assist.

Didn't train fully De Cuyper remained on the bench in the last game and didn't train fully this week due to an undisclosed issue, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to The...

Impact De Cuyper is currently dealing with an undisclosed issue that is not ruling him out but is serious enough to prevent him from training in full during the week and starting in the last game. The versatile defender was rested during the clash against Liverpool and is a doubt for a starting role against Sunderland on Saturday, as he did not train fully this week. That issue is expected to lead to increased playing time for either Brajan Gruda in the frontline or Ferdi Kadioglu at the back for the Seagulls.

11 crosses Sunday De Cuyper registered 11 crosses (five accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.

Impact De Cuyper made his third consecutive start Sunday and he put together a productive performance. He recorded season highs in crosses (11), accurate crosses (five) and corners (five) and also created three chances for the second time in his last four matches. He was subbed off in the 72nd minute Charalampos Kostoulas.

Scores goal in victory De Cuyper scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest.

Impact De Cuyper started Sunday's clash in a more advanced role on the left wing and repeatedly targeted Forest's right side from the opening minutes. He finally broke through in first half stoppage time, sweeping a composed finish into the bottom corner after Georginio Rutter's pass broke kindly in the box. Earlier he had already supplied a dangerous whipped cross that Diego Gomez nearly turned in, contributing to season highs of four chances created and three accurate crosses. While Kaoru Mitoma (ankle) remains out due to injury, this new role and decent outing could make De Cuyper see increased playing time for the Seagulls.

Doesn't start before break De Cuyper came off the bench for the final two matches before the international break.

Impact De Cuyper started four straight matches to open the season before a knee injury sidelined him for a single match. It didn't prove to be a major concern as he came off the bench twice after one match out. Once he's back to full fitness, De Cuyper should get the starting nod at left-back once more over Ferdi Kadioglu.

Goal as reserve De Cuyper scored one goal during Brighton & Hove Albion's 3-1 win Saturday at Chelsea.

Impact While at Chelsea, De Cuyper logged Brighton's game-winner. As part of the Seagulls, MDC's latest goal is his first. Considering both a healthy and in-form De Cuyper, perhaps Brighton's starting XI will include him again. As part of the Seagulls, each of MDC's other appearances feature starts.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Claims bench spot De Cuyper (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Chelsea.

Impact De Cuyper is set to return after missing the most recent EPL match against Tottenham. The left-back won't return straight into the XI, though, with Ferdi Kadioglu getting the nod on the left side of the defense once again.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return De Cuyper (knee) is available for Saturday's trip to Chelsea, per manager Fabian Hurzeler.

Impact De Cuyper is set to return for Saturday's clash with Chelsea. This timeline is right along what was expected after nearly returning against Tottenham last season. With De Cuyper fully fit and available he should slot into the starting XI once more, likely sending Ferdi Kadioglu to the bench.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against Spurs De Cuyper (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Tottenham.

Impact De Cuyper has not recovered in time and has been ruled out of Saturday's match against Tottenham following the knock sustained last weekend against Bournemouth. The Belgian had started all of his four appearances for the Seagulls this season before this setback.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late call against Tottenham De Cuyper (undisclosed) is a late call for Saturday's clash against Tottenham, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to Andy Naylor from The Athletic.

Impact De Cuyper suffered an undisclosed injury against the Cherries last Saturday and will be a late call to face Tottenham on Saturday. The Belgian has started all of his four appearances with the Seagulls this season and will hope to answer the call because a potential absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Ferdi Kadioglu likely replacing him in the backline if he misses the game.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with injury De Cuyper left Saturday's game against Bournemouth with an undisclosed injury after being pushed into an advertising board in the first half, Andy Naylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact The left-back chased a Dunk pass and fell into the advertising display close to Bournemouth's right-hand corner flag, and he had left the pitch for treatment before departing for good. It's unclear if the injury will cause him to miss time, and if that's the case, Ferdi Kadioglu should take his place on the left side of the defense.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Completes Brighton switch De Cuyper has completed a permanent transfer from Club Brugge to Brighton, his new club announced Saturday.

Impact The left-back was a sought-after commodity in the transfer market, but he'll end up joining the Seagulls on a multi-year contract. He's expected to compete with Pervis Estupinan for minutes on left side of the defensive line.
