Westerlo club-trained players

On the record we can verify, 5 players club-trained at Westerlo now play for other clubs we track, led by Arthur Piedfort (Auxerre, value €9m), Daan Heymans (Genk, value €8m) and Arno Verschueren (SK Beveren, value €870k).

• Arthur Piedfort · Auxerre · €9m
• Daan Heymans · Genk · €8m
• Arno Verschueren · SK Beveren · €870k
• Nicolas Rommens · Lommel SK · €610k
• Kyan Vaesen · OH Leuven · €540k

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.
