"De Cat made his senior debut last season and made seven appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal. He has been playing regularly this season, managing 13 appearances in the Belgian Pro League. In total, he has made 18 appearances in all competitions already. A towering midfielder who loves to dribble, the youngster was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation 2025: 60 of the best young talents in world football", which suggests that the hype surrounding him is not misplaced."
"The German midfielder has made three substitute appearances in the Champions League. While Joshua Kimmich has been outstanding this season for Bayern, Goretzka divides opinion among the fans. There is a feeling that Goretzka slows the tempo down, and he does not contribute enough in terms of output. The likes of Alexander Pavlovic and Tom Bischof have impressed heavily whenever given the opportunity, but Kompany has relied on Goretzka's experience this season."
Nathan De Cat is a 17-year-old Anderlecht academy product who will represent Belgium at the U-17 World Cup in Qatar. De Cat made his senior debut last season, appearing seven times and scoring once, and has 13 Belgian Pro League appearances this season, 18 in all competitions. A towering midfielder who likes to dribble, he featured in The Guardian's Next Generation 2025 list. Bayern Munich are tracking him and could face competition from Borussia Dortmund. De Cat is contracted to Anderlecht until 2027 and could be viewed as a long-term replacement for Leon Goretzka, who has a contract until the end of the season.
