It is likely the pair will quickly create a chemistry together but Faes already has a lot of experience with teammates. Faes is a regular in the Belgium National team and Leicester has a ton of players from Belgium on the side. Youri Tielemans, Timothy Castagne, and Dennis Praet are not only Belgians on the Leicester squad, but they’re Belgians who play on the internationally as well.

Despite only being the age 24, Faes is oozing with experience. He may have experience with some of the Belgium internationals, but he brings much more experience than that to the team. Faes first become a consistent starter at the age of 20 when he was signed by the Belgian side Oostende. Before that, he was getting occasional appearances for sides in the Eredivisie.

Faes would play two seasons with Oostende before being sold to League One side Stade de Reims. He would play two seasons with the squad before he was sold to LCFC this summer. At just the age of 24, Faes has international experience, Premier League experience, League One experience, Belgian league experience and Eredivisie experience. Faes has been all over the world and that gives him so much experience despite his age.
