Mini bio
How it started.
Kevin grew up in Drongen, Belgium, and moved away from home at 14 to join Genk’s academy. In his own account for The Players’ Tribune, he describes being a quiet, shy boy who found his voice on the football pitch.
Finding his place.
His club career took him from Genk to Chelsea, with a loan season at Werder Bremen, then to Wolfsburg. In 2015 he won the German Cup and was voted German Footballer of the Year before joining Manchester City that summer.
A decade in Manchester.
At City, his passing and playmaking became central to the team. Across ten years he won six Premier League titles and helped the club win its first Champions League. He finished with 422 appearances, 108 goals and 170 assists in all competitions.
The next chapter.
Napoli announced his signing in June 2025. At his unveiling, Kevin said the club’s competitive plans appealed to him, and that he had discussed the move with Romelu Lukaku and Dries Mertens. He now plays in Serie A while continuing to represent Belgium.
