He joined the Italian side from Zulte Waragem and represented the youth team before making two senior appearances for Juventus.

De Winter then went on loan to Empoli, which is where he caught the attention of the English clubs. So far, he has made eight appearances and has developed with the opportunity of first-team football.

A hamstring issue is likely what led the 20-year-old to miss out on a World Cup call-up for Belgium, though he will undoubtedly go on to represent the national team in the future.
