Right now I don’t give a **** if he’s good or bad, or somewhere in between - just put him in the team ahead of Amartey, and that’ll do for now




Until he proves he’s complete shite, obviously
 
Wout a way to have a good time!
 
Has anyone mentioned that he’s got big hair yet?
 
Yes! A signing, an actual outfield signing! Welcome Wout!

Hopefully once this guy settles in, losing Fofana won't Faes us at all...
 
Set Faes to stun.
 
Leicester City Football Club is delighted to confirm the signing of defender Wout Faes from Ligue 1 side Reims on a five-year-deal, subject to international clearance.

The 24-year-old Belgium international made 37 appearances for The Red and Whites last season, with his impressive displays at centre-half earning him the club’s 2021/22 Player of the Season award.

Speaking to LCFC TV, Faes said:It’s an amazing feeling [to be here]; it’s not sunk in yet. This is the dream step in my career and I’m very happy to be here. I’m progressing year after year, and I hope to continue doing the same here. All the facilities and knowledge is here to help me to get even better. I will have to work hard, but I will give 100 per cent to help the team.

Born in Mol, Belgium, Faes joined Anderlecht’s youth academy in 2012, where he played alongside Youri Tielemans, and signed his first professional contract with the Belgian Pro League side.

He joined Dutch Eredivisie outfit Heerenveen on loan in January 2017, before a season-long loan at Excelsior the following campaign, during which he made 19 appearances for the club in all competitions.

In July 2018, the 24-year-old made the switch to Belgian Pro League side Oostende on a permanent deal. He went on to feature for De Kustboys 63 times in all competitions, scoring once.

A move to Ligue 1 side Reims followed in January 2020, although he was allowed to finish the season with Oostende on loan, before making his debut in France eight months later.

Faes went on to make 75 appearances for The Red and Whites in all competitions, scoring five goals, and was voted the club’s Player of the Season at the end of the last campaign.

He made his debut for Belgium in their 6-1 Nations League victory over Poland in June, appearing alongside new Foxes teammates Youri Tielemans and Timothy Castagne.
