Who is Kaye Furo?

Born on February 6, 2007, Kaye Furo stands at an imposing 6ft 3in (190cm) and brings speed, power, and physicality to the forward line. The son of former Nigeria international defender Furo Iyenemi (who featured in the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations), Kaye was born and raised in Belgium. He is eligible to represent both nations and has progressed through Belgium’s youth ranks from U15 to U21 level.

Furo began his youth career at Royal Antwerp before joining Club Brugge’s academy in 2017. He signed his first professional contract at just 15 years old and made his senior debut in August 2025 during a UEFA Champions League qualifying match.

This season (2025/26), the teenage sensation featured in eight senior appearances across the UEFA Champions League, Belgian Pro League, and Belgian Cup, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Highlights include his first Pro League goal against Sint-Truiden and a substitute appearance in a Champions League clash with Arsenal.

Brentford’s Vision for the Young Star

Head coach Keith Andrews expressed huge excitement about the new addition. Speaking on the club’s official website, he said:

“Kaye is someone we have tracked for a while that we are really excited about bringing to the club. His attributes are ones that I like and feel we can develop within the environment we have created. I have no doubt he will be a big player for us.”

Brentford’s track record of nurturing talent shines here, following their successful signing of Igor Thiago from the same Club Brugge. Fans will hope Furo follows a similar path to becoming a key Premier League contributor.
