Van der Heyden is an attacking left-back who had spells with Sporting Lokeren St-Niklaas and KSC Eendracht Aalst before hitting the big time with Club Brugge.

Enthusiastic player who made his international debut against the Czech Republic in a World Cup qualifier in Prague.

Fared well despite being thrown in at the deep end there, and could be a star at these finals.

Reportedly even attracted the interest of Italian giants Inter Milan earlier this season.

Will give Belgium good balance down the left.
