Arthur Vermeeren, born on 7 February 2005 (age 21), is a Belgian central defensive midfielder with RB Leipzig. He is still at the stage where reputation and development are being measured carefully rather than settled, which is probably no bad thing.
He made his first serious mark at Royal Antwerp, where his 2023-24 league season brought one goal in 21 appearances. For a player operating mainly at the base of midfield, that return is less the point than the responsibility he was already being given at a young age.
Vermeeren is now at RB Leipzig, with his market value sitting at around £21.5m according to Transfermarkt. His career so far has moved quickly: Belgium, Antwerp, then Leipzig, with the next part depending on how well he turns early promise into regular authority in midfield.
