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.

Arsenal are understood to be among the clubs keeping an eye on Jurrien Timber's twin brother Quentin, currently on the books at Feyenoord. As first reported in my exclusive here for the Daily Briefing, the 24-year-old Dutchman is nearing the end of his contract at Feyenoord, with Borussia Dortmund leading the race for his signature. Still, my sources tell me that the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham could also be three clubs in the mix for Timber's signature next summer.

[We must] quickly put [it] behind us. [It] can also help us. We want to develop further and must measure ourselves against the best. We are good, but we need to keep improving.

The hype around Moukoko in 2020 was astonishing, even before he made his Dortmund debut. As a 14-year-old in 2018-19, the Cameroon-born forward scored a record 50 league goals for the German side's under-17s, and at 13 had declared to Bild his intention to win the Ballon d'Or. Promoted to the under-19s the following season, he scored 34 goals in 20 games, also providing nine assists.
