EURO 2024 | France opponent analysis: Belgium | OneFootball

France face Belgium in Düsseldorf on Monday with both looking to progress to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. From the manager, to the most famous culinary delight and in-depth profiles of the whole squad, here is everything you need to know about Domenico Tedesco’s side. This piece was written by Koen Van Uytvange, Pieter-Jan Calcoen and Yanko Beeckman for Nieuwsblad as part of GFFN’s partnership with The Guardian’s sports network.

Prospects

At the time of writing (pre-Euro 2024), Belgium have yet to lose a single game under Domenico Tedesco, who has been in charge of the national team since March 2023. In their qualifying group, the Red Devils collected an impressive 20 points out of 24 possible in a group that also included Austria and Sweden. However, their biggest scalp so far under Tedesco came in his second game as they won 3-2 away against Germany.

The German-Italian coach prefers a 4-3-3 formation, which means that the three-man defence utilised by his predecessor, Roberto Martínez, is a thing of the past. Despite the impressive results, Belgium are not among the favourites for the Euros this summer. This is mainly due to the fact that many players of the so-called Golden Generation have retired from international football or simply retired full stop.

Compared to the squad that took part in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Eden Hazard, Axel Witsel and Toby Alderweireld are only three of the players who are no longer part of the national team set-up. Tedesco saw his chance to give the squad an injection of energy and has been calling up players such as Johan Bakayoko (21, PSV Eindhoven), Dodi Lukebakio (26, Sevilla) and Orel Mangala (26, Lyon) among others.

There will be one notable absentee at the Euros and that is Thibaut Courtois. The Real Madrid goalkeeper, unlike some of his compatriots, had not planned to announce his retirement after the World Cup but has fallen out with Tedesco. After a dispute with the coach regarding the captain’s armband, Courtois accused the national coach of a “breach of trust”.

At the end of 2023, Courtois announced that he would not be fit for the Euros and ruled himself out. Then he returned for Real Madrid for some of their last league games. His absence threatens to hang over the Red Devils during the tournament.

The coach

At 38 years old, Domenico Tedesco will be the second youngest national coach at the Euros after Germany’s Julian Nagelsmann (36). The two youngsters were even part of the same class at the famous Hennes Weisweiler Academy and were considered the best of the class. “He made good PowerPoint presentations and could sell himself well,” says a fellow student. With his high-pressure football and decision to bring in new faces, Tedesco has revived the enthusiasm around the national team. The fact that he is more straightforward than his predecessor Roberto Martínez has also gone down well with the Belgian public. Tedesco just has to hope that his stubbornness in the Courtois case does not come back to haunt him.

The icon

More than ever the success of the Belgian national team this summer will depend on Kevin De Bruyne’s form. No wonder Tedesco made him captain.  “He is one of the best midfielders in the world,” says the coach. “He is like a mirror of this team. If De Bruyne plays well, the whole team plays well.” The Manchester City playmaker has become a Premier League legend and helped City win the league again this season, although he would admit that it has not been his best campaign, partly because of a hamstring injury. At previous tournaments, he has been known to irritate his teammates because of the demands he makes on everyone. Belgium must hope that KDB is able to show his best version – on and off the pitch – in Germany.

One to watch

Johan Bakayoko was handed his debut in Domenico Tedesco’s first game in March 2023, a 3-0 away win over Sweden, and has not looked back, featuring in every single game since then at the time of writing. The right-sided attacker has just had a superb season at club level with PSV Eindhoven, culminating in them winning the league. Paris St-Germain and Brentford are only two of the clubs who have tried to sign the 21-year-old in the past without succeeding, but there is a chance he could move this summer, especially if he takes Euro 2024 by storm.

The maverick

Belgians are not known for being loud mouths or trouble-seeking so riot-causing Red Devils are quite rare (well, since Radja Nainggolan’s international retirement at least). However, one person who never minces his words is Thomas Meunier. The experienced right-back made enemies right, left and centre during his time in France with PSG and was one of the few Red Devils to speak out about the Courtois case. “Thibaut just needs to apologise, simple as that,” he said.

The spine

As mentioned above, the Red Devils have undergone serious rejuvenation in recent months. Yet, apart from in goal, there is at least one experienced player in each line who also has the necessary tournament experience. Koen Casteels is expected to start in goal. In defence, Jan Vertonghen will have to take a lot of responsibility and show his younger teammates the ropes. In midfield, De Bruyne, especially after the retirement of Eden Hazard, is more than ever the man who has to create the chances and dictate play. Up front, there is a third survivor of the Golden Generation in Romelu Lukaku. Big Rom is already Belgium’s all-time male top scorer and only wants to cement his place in history furher.

Probable starting XI

4-3-3 – Casteels – Castagne, Faes, Vertonghen, Theate – Onana, Mangala, De Bruyne – Trossard, Lukaku, Doku

Celebrity fan

Stromae is one of the most famous artists in Belgium and a supporter of the Red Devils. In 2014 he was the artist behind Ta Fête, the official Belgian national team song for the World Cup in Brazil. And if the Belgians go all the way and win the tournament on 14 July this summer? Alors on danse (so we dance).

Culinary delight

A typical Belgian football snack is the mitraillette: a sandwich containing a hamburger or sausage as well as french fries and a sauce. The mitraillette is not only delicious but it also offers the advantage that you only need one hand to hold the various treats contained in it. For those who like some balance, vegetables can also be added to the sandwich. But not too much.

Belgium player profiles

Koen Casteels

June 25, 1992

Goalkeeper

Wolfsburg

An inch shorter than Thibaut Courtois, Casteels was once considered a bigger talent than his teammate and peer at Genk. But while Courtois got his break at 18, Casteels left to build a career in Germany. As an international, injuries have cost him two tournaments and more games. Euro 2024 will be his first competition as the No 1 for Belgium, due in part to the feud between Courtois and the coach, Domenico Tedesco. On his lack of playing time under Tedesco’s predecessor, Roberto Martínez, Casteels said: “In Belgium, the Bundesliga receives less attention than the Premier League or Spanish football. Martínez was also more focused on those competitions.” A calm leader with good feet, he is considered a penalty specialist: after stopping one from Xabi Alonso with a leg sweep on his Wolfsburg debut, he was nicknamed “Kung Fu Casteels”. After nine seasons at Wolfsburg, his contract expires this summer. The Euros should serve as a showcase to find him a new club.

Matz Sels

February 26, 1992

Goalkeeper

Nottingham Forest

After five-and-a-half excellent years at Strasbourg – where he was voted the best goalkeeper in Ligue 1 in 2022 – Sels returned to the Premier League in February. His previous spell at Newcastle, in 2016-17, was short-lived. “I came from a team of friends but in Newcastle, I struggled with the mentality: ‘each man for himself’,” he said and shut down his Twitter account because of the abuse he received. An excellent shot-stopper, Sels is underrated with his feet. At Lierse, where he started his career, he earned the nickname “Zidane” in training because of his signature dribbling. Once took a real estate agent course and is no stranger to superstition: after winning the title with Gent in 2015, he wore pink underwear for months, until it tore. Although spelt with a Z, he is named after the tennis player Mats Wilander.

Thomas Kaminski

October 23, 1992

Goalkeeper

Luton

Another prodigy of 1992, the golden year of Belgian goalkeepers (Courtois, Casteels, Sels) and the youngest goalkeeper in Belgian Pro League history, debuting at 16 with Germinal Beerschot. Kaminski could have opted to play for Poland, the country of his father, Jacek, a successful volleyball player who ended his career in Belgium. His twin brother, Mathias, also a talented footballer, did not make it because of injuries. Kaminski has played in Cyprus, Denmark and the English Championship, before getting his break at Premier League level, his childhood dream. Led the division in saves for long stretches of 2023-24, partly thanks to his excellent reflexes – “and because I get a lot of work. It makes it easier to distinguish yourself.” His former teammate at Gent, Ukraine defender Igor Plastun, will for ever remember an accidental collision with Kaminski: Plastun required stitches in his genitals afterwards.

Timothy Castagne

December 5, 1995

Defender

Burnley

Grew up in the province of Luxemburg, where people are known for their tough character and few footballers turn pro. Castagne has become a versatile, high-energy full-back but not before several setbacks. At Genk, where Alex McLeish gave him his debut, he was sidelined for months after corrective eye surgery. He later suffered a clash of heads during his opening game at Euro 2020, which left him with a broken eye socket. He again had to undergo surgery. “If the impact had been 3cm higher my career would have been over,” he said. “On the aeroplane home, all I could do was cry.” Atalanta, Leicester and Fulham paid a combined total of over £34m for him. In cumulative transfer fees, Castagne is the most expensive Belgian defender ever. “I am not better than Kompany, Vertonghen or Alderweireld,” he said. “I am no flashy player but I always do my job.” Is often the subject of wordplay in the Belgian press as Castagne means “chestnut” in Dutch and “brawl” in French.

Maxim De Cuyper

December 20, 2000

Defender

Club Brugge

A surprise and not a surprise: that is how we can describe De Cuyper’s selection. He did not play a minute in the qualifying matches for Euro 2024, but his form for Club Brugge, where he reached a very high level as his team won the Belgian league, made it hard to leave him out. Provided 15 assists in all competitions from full-back, with his superb left foot a real weapon at set pieces. De Cuyper constantly moves forward to join attacks, which occasionally makes him defensively vulnerable. In 2020, he made his debut for Club in the Europa League against Manchester United but it was on loan at Westerlo where he developed rapidly. A huge Club Brugge fan since childhood, he has no time for their biggest rivals: when he was asked in kindergarten what colour a plum is, he refused to say the answer, because purple is Anderlecht’s colour.

Zeno Debast

October 24, 2003

Defender

Anderlecht

Only 20 years old but already closing in on 100 appearances for Anderlecht’s first team. Debast’s father was a footballer at amateur level, his mother played, and even his grandmother did. Originally a No 10 who adored Cristiano Ronaldo, he was moved to centre-back due to his lack of explosiveness. A big fan of Dutch freestyle footballer Soufiane Touzani, whose skills he used to copy. No wonder that he is considered the best defender in the Belgian Pro League with the ball at his feet. In pure defending Debast still has a road to travel, “but I have already learned a lot with Jan Vertonghen playing next to me”. Has the cathedral and the postal code of his birth city, Halle, tattooed on his arm. His brother, six years younger, is part of Anderlecht’s youth setup: their dream is to play together one day. Debast is expected to move to a bigger league this summer.

Wout Faes

April 3, 1996

Defender

Leicester

Won a bronze medal with Belgium at the Under-17 World Cup in Chile in 2015. Highly coveted from a young age, Chelsea sent him a shirt signed by David Luiz on his 16th birthday and ever since then he has been compared to the Brazilian; due to the similar hairstyles, no doubt. Faes is not keen on the comparison, but will never shave his hair. Anderlecht did not think he would make it, however. “Training but never getting a chance in the first team, I hated that time at Anderlecht,” he has said. “It made me lose all desire to train.” Faes was sent on several loans before leaving the club in 2018. Physically strong and good with his head, he has proven Anderlecht wrong. Likes to go fishing with his uncle, to study and to read. He has finished all seven Harry Potter books at least twice. “I’m a big fan. My favourite one was the Half-Blood Prince.”

Thomas Meunier

September 12, 1991

Defender

Trabzonspor

When Club Brugge won the bidding war for third-division sensation Meunier in 2011, he was still a skilful attacker; an amateur who had just stopped working as a postman. More than a year later, he had become a right-back and has never looked back. He is the only Belgian to have played with Kylian Mbappé and Neymar (at PSG), and Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham (at Borussia Dortmund). With the latter two, he still maintains a good friendship. Chose to leave Dortmund in January in order to play more and secure a selection for this Euros. His wife also played football, though they met at secondary school when studying art. Since then Meunier has had a passion for modern art. From the Ardennes, he has been investing in local business to revive his home region. “One thing is for sure, I will end my career as an attacker,” he said. “Because the joy of football is scoring goals.”

Arthur Theate

May 25, 2000

Defender

Rennes

Although a youth international at all age groups, in the summer of 2020 nobody seemed to want Theate. He had no future with the Standard Liège Under-21 team and not even with teams in the third tier. Until he got a trial at KV Oostende – and was signed. A year later, he left for Bologna and was already a senior international.  “I don’t feel any grudge – on the contrary, I say thank you to all those who rejected me,” he says. In 2022, a transfer fee of £17m made him the most expensive centre-back ever bought by talent factory Rennes, the former club of Raphinha, Jérémy Doku and Ousmane Dembélé. Not the most technically gifted but a warrior on the field. At Belgian youth-team level, he was a roommate of the footballer turned cyclist Remco Evenepoel. Carles Puyol was his idol and Theate is especially fond of cars and engines, once saying: “Is there something more interesting than Formula One?”

Jan Vertonghen

April 24, 1987

Defender

Anderlecht

Will end his career as the captain at Anderlecht, something he never imagined after leaving Tottenham for Benfica in 2020. But after the two years in Lisbon, he had to search for more playing time. The centre-back struggled in his last year at Spurs, the consequence of a head collision in the semi-finals of the Champions League against Ajax. “For nine months, I suffered from headaches and dizziness,” he said. “I couldn’t bring my normal level. While resting during Covid, it got better.” Belgium’s most capped player, Vertonghen will retire from the national team after this tournament. Active with his Jan Vertonghen Foundation, which builds playgrounds to give every child access to sports and a lifelong fan of cycling, Vertonghen wouldn’t mind changing sports when he hangs up his boots. “I always say: if I had the budget, I would like to start a cycling team with my brothers.”

Yannick Carrasco

September 4, 1993

Midfield

Al-Shabab

In 2016, he scored in the final of the Champions League for Atlético Madrid against Real Madrid and his post-goal kiss with his partner – and former Miss Belgium – Noémie Happart went around the world. Today, Carrasco plays for Saudi club Al-Shabab. It is the second time that he has opted to leave Europe, having previously played for Dalian Yifang in China. These excursions have not affected his status with the Red Devils, although he mainly played in midfield under former coach Roberto Martínez. Domenico Tedesco sees him more as a left winger, the position Carrasco played as a youngster. Carrasco, who has his mother’s surname, was determined to become a professional. While a student, he submitted his mathematics exam blank, except for these words: “I’m going to be a professional footballer.” He eventually succeeded: via Genk, he went to Monaco, where he made his breakthrough in 2012.

Kevin De Bruyne

June 28, 1991

Midfield

Manchester City

“Who is the best midfielder in the world?” Ask that question in Belgium and the answer is always De Bruyne. He is indispensable for both Manchester City and the Red Devils. Yet as a child he spent five days on an internship at Arsenal, while his favourite club was Liverpool. A bed cover, a tracksuit, a photo album and a shirt of his great hero Michael Owen: De Bruyne had it all. He also had a strong character. If things don’t go the way he wants, for example at the last World Cup against Canada, he openly gets irritated. De Bruyne knew what he wanted to be in his teenage years. At a friend’s house, he was only allowed to play football in the garden with a plastic ball to protect the flowers, but De Bruyne asked for a leather one. That was OK with his friend’s father, on the condition that he only play with his inferior left foot. This is one of the reasons why Belgium’s playmaker is so two-footed.

Orel Mangala

March 18, 1998

Midfield

Lyon (on loan from Nottingham Forest)

“His love for football almost cost Orel his life,” his father, Jean, said. The story goes like this: the two-year-old Mangala was playing in the garden in Etterbeek, where he crossed the street without hesitation to get his ball. He had not seen an oncoming car and the ensuing accident left him in a medically induced coma for two days. Doctors predicted he would never walk again, but Mangala proved them wrong. There is still a scar on his head as a reminder of the accident. He was a youth player for Anderlecht, but made a name for himself in Germany, playing for Stuttgart and Hamburg. He is now on loan at Lyon from Nottingham Forest but the national coach, Domenico Tedesco, knows Mangala from the Bundesliga and has great confidence in the Brussels native. He believes that Mangala, a player with great running ability and good technique, provides balance in midfield.

Amadou Onana

August 16, 2001

Midfield

Everton

When Onana was a youth player, no one predicted a big career ahead of him. Today he is one of the rising stars of the Premier League at Everton and is on the radar of Europe’s top clubs. He is also an important player for Belgium, his aerial ability proving a huge asset. When Onana was in Belgium as a youth player, progress was challenging. They saw no future in him at Anderlecht, while at Zulte Waregem he was always on the bench. His sister and agent, Melissa, bought a video camera to film Onana at training and sent the results to numerous European clubs. Hoffenheim saw his potential and, via Hamburg and Lille, he arrived in England. With the Red Devils, he is a leader, always speaking during group discussions. Yet Onana is not only busy with football but also music. There are many videos of him singing on YouTube.

Youri Tielemans

May 7, 1997

Midfield

Aston Villa

In a friendly match against England in March, Tielemans showed his quality with two goals which proved that he can still be important for the Red Devils. Previously there were doubts because the Aston Villa midfielder has not always performed for Belgium, but his talent has never been in doubt. Tielemans has vision and a dangerous long shot. However his first sport was not football, but basketball. At the basketball club Royal IV Brussels he was nicknamed “Magic Youri”. Tielemans was also talented in judo but he chose football and the club of his heart, Anderlecht. In 2017, Tielemans became the most expensive outgoing transfer from Belgium at the time: Monaco paid Anderlecht €25m for his signature. His spell in Ligue 1 was a disappointment, but he made history at Leicester: his fantastic goal won the FA Cup final against Chelsea in 2021.

Axel Witsel

January 12, 1989

Midfield

Atlético Madrid

It seemed like the end of the story. Under Domenico Tedesco, Witsel had not yet been called up for Belgium. After the World Cup in Qatar, the 130-cap international received a lot of criticism – he lacked dynamism in midfield, they said – and so he disappeared from the squad, after which Witsel indicated that he considered his career as a Red Devil to be over. In the months that followed his game returned to a high level, only this time as a central defender in that toughest of defensive sides, Atlético Madrid. Tedesco soon realised he could use Witsel in his new role and brought him back for the European Championship. The 35-year-old with the big hair and even bigger heart is widely praised for his work ethic. “It is similar to that of Cristiano Ronaldo,” his father Thierry has said in the past. Witsel is also very religious: he has a paternoster tattooed on his chest. The supporters of Standard Liège, where Witsel made his breakthrough 18 years ago, hope he will end his career at their club.

Arthur Vermeeren

February 7, 2005

Midfield

Atlético Madrid

A departure was inevitable. Vermeeren won the league and the Belgian Cup with Antwerp and shone in the Champions League – scoring against Barcelona – prompting Atlético Madrid to sign him in January. Game time has been scarce since as he adapts to a new country and Diego Simeone’s philosophy. Vermeeren’s breakthrough at Antwerp came thanks to an unlikely figure: Radja Nainggolan. The former Red Devil behaved unprofessionally on several occasions – for example, he vaped on the substitutes’ bench – and was cast aside, giving Vermeeren his chance. Vermeeren is not at all like Nainggolan, he is very well-behaved. It was only at the title party that he drank alcohol for the first time. “I couldn’t resist the temptation,” he laughed afterwards in Nieuwsblad. “A tattoo? Then I am no longer allowed to enter the house of my parents.”

Aster Vranckx

October 4, 2002

Midfield

Wolfsburg

You may have already seen Vranckx play in the shirt of his first club, Mechelen. In 2020 against KV Oostende, he incomprehensibly missed an open goal from less than a metre away. A few hours later, the video had already been viewed millions of times, Gary Lineker among those who shared it on X. Yet the then 17-year-old Vranckx handled the commotion well. “I’m not going to put this in my head,” he told Nieuwsblad. The top European clubs saw his enormous potential and Wolfsburg signed him before he’d completed a full season for Mechelen. He initially played very little in Germany and was loaned to Milan in 2022, but Vranckx is now back at Wolfsburg. Domenico Tedesco has a lot of confidence in the midfielder: he likes his mentality and his profile. Vranckx combines aerial duelling power with good technique.

Johan Bakayoko

April 20, 2003

Forward

PSV Eindhoven

Bakayoko has been a top performer at PSV for two increasingly prolific seasons. Over those years, the Dutch club has refused offers from Brentford and Paris St-Germain, among others, but the winger seems likely to leave the Eredivisie soon. Bakayoko, who mainly impresses with his speed and dribbling, also has a secret weapon: his football agenda. “A few years ago I drew up a profile for myself in a booklet in which I gave myself a score out of one hundred for each part of my game, like in Fifa,” he told Nieuwsblad. “Every season I set myself an objective per event. And every day in my agenda, I’d write down a point on which I wanted to focus during training that day. There are a lot of young football players. If you want to be better than the rest, you have to try to make a difference somewhere.”

Charles De Ketelaere

March 10, 2001

Forward

Atalanta (on loan from Milan)

De Ketelaere’s first season in Italy with Milan, having arrived in 2022 amid great fanfare after a terrific season with Club Brugge, was far from a success. A loan to Atalanta this past season brought improvement. Under Gian Piero Gasperini, he has regained his good form and is once again providing goals and assists. One of his great assets for the national team is the attacking midfielder’s versatility. In his youth, De Ketelaere combined football with tennis. His idol was Roger Federer, while the team he most wanted to play for was Real Madrid. Ultimately, his choice fell on football. “Always getting private lessons from an adult coach or playing football with your friends: what do you think a boy of that age likes best?” he once told Nieuwsblad.

Jérémy Doku

May 27, 2002

Forward

Manchester City

The left winger started off like a rocket in his first season at Manchester City but was unable to continue his impressive statistics from the start of the campaign through to the very end. In the national team, with his speed and dribbling skills, he is one of the most important weapons and – albeit with a different style – he is seen as the successor to Eden Hazard. Doku is enjoying great facilities at Manchester City today, but as a youth player for Anderlecht he was also shown around Liverpool’s training complex, leading to a slight misunderstanding. His dad, David, said: “We talked about Chelsea quite often, and so Liverpool were afraid that Jérémy would sign there – while we were just talking about our youngest daughter. Her name is also Chelsea.”

Romelu Lukaku

May 13, 1993

Forward

Roma (on loan from Chelsea)

Lukaku was loaned to Roma this season after a weeks-long transfer saga in the summer. At his former team Internazionale, where his goals helped win the league title in 2021, he is persona non grata. “A lot of bullshit has been written about me this summer,” Lukaku said about the transfer soap opera. “I will speak in time, but if I were to really say how it all went last summer, everyone would be shocked.” With the national team, he is the all-time top scorer, and in the past year he has received all the love he’s sometimes missed: 2023 was his most prolific year yet with 15 goals in nine games. In addition to being a powerhouse striker, Lukaku is also a polyglot. In addition to Dutch and French, he also speaks English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Lingala.

Dodi Lukebakio

September 24, 1997

Forward

Sevilla

Feel free to call Lukebakio a late bloomer. At 26, the tall, rapid right winger has never played in a major tournament with the Belgium national team. However, since the arrival of Domenico Tedesco, he has become a permanent fixture. That is no coincidence: as a German, Tedesco closely followed the Bundesliga, where Lukebakio played for years before he joined Sevilla from Hertha Berlin last summer. According to his mother, his first name refers to Dodi Fayed, who died in an accident in Paris at the side of Princess Diana less than a month before Lukebakio’s birth. But according to his father, Dodi stands for “Don de Dieu” – gift from god. Lukebakio is very religious himself. “I am against sex before marriage,” he said. “Many people find that difficult, so they don’t stick to it. But God helped me to persevere.”

Loïs Openda

February 16, 2000

Forward

RB Leipzig

Openda’s stock has risen rapidly in recent years. From Vitesse to Lens to RB Leipzig: nowhere has the pocket-rocket striker stopped scoring. During his time at Lens, Openda worked with a performance coach, Siebe Hannosset. This taught him some new habits. “A top athlete must feel good, on and off the field,” Hannosset explained. “So I advised him to pick up things in his free time that give him satisfaction and enjoyment. He is now taking his Spanish and piano lessons again; things he had stopped.” Openda scored freely this past season, easily breaking the 20-goal mark in the Bundesliga and getting four goals in the Champions League – three of them coming against Manchester City. For the Red Devils, however, he is still playing second fiddle behind Romelu Lukaku.

Leandro Trossard

December 4, 1994

Forward

Arsenal

Trossard’s stature in the national team has only grown after his £26m transfer from Brighton to Arsenal in January 2023. In terms of playing style, the prolific winger is the closest player Belgium have to the now-retired Eden Hazard. Trossard is also one of the few Red Devils who has his own signature celebration. Every time he scores, he turns his hands over and forms upside-down glasses in front of his eyes. “I once asked my son how I should celebrate after my goals,” Trossard explained. “Then he did this movement with the glasses on. I think he once saw that in a superhero video on YouTube.” Arsenal fans have become increasingly used to seeing Trossard’s celebration style, as he has displayed a welcome knack for scoring important goals for the club, reaching double figures in the 2023-24 Premier League season.
