Antwerp club-trained players

We can verify 6 club-trained players in the Antwerp squad: Arthur Vermeeren, Semm Renders, Eran Tuypens, Jeff Godelaine, Andreas Verstraeten and Niels Devalckeneer. Between them they have played 13% of Antwerp's league minutes in 2026/27. 8 other squad players are not verifiable on our record.

• Arthur Vermeeren (MID): 540 league minutes
• Semm Renders (DEF): 535 league minutes
• Eran Tuypens (DEF): 308 league minutes
• Jeff Godelaine (FWD): 9 league minutes
• Andreas Verstraeten (DEF): no league minutes yet
• Niels Devalckeneer (GK): no league minutes yet

On the record we can verify, 4 players club-trained at Antwerp now play for other clubs we track, led by Anthony Valencia (Flamengo, value €8m), Zeno Van Den Bosch (FC Union Berlin, value €4m) and Nolhan Courtens (SC Heerenveen, value €3m).

• Anthony Valencia · Flamengo · €8m
• Zeno Van Den Bosch · FC Union Berlin · €4m
• Nolhan Courtens · SC Heerenveen · €3m
• Kobe Corbanie · Mechelen · €1m

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
