K.R.C. Genk has signed a new talent: Yassine Labidi. The 17-year-old player signed a professional contract for three seasons and will play for the club in the coming years. Labidi has great potential as a number ten and can quickly develop. He was taken from the PSV youth academy in 2024 and has since confirmed his great potential as a creative playmaker. Other talents such as Kos Karetsas, Lucca Brughmans, Josué Kongolo and Robin Mirisola have also already emerged at the club. The Genk youth academy has launched several talents in recent months and years. Yassine Labidi stands out for his technical qualities, his game insight and his ability to determine the tempo of a match. With his refined left foot, he often finds the right solution between the lines and creates chances for his teammates. Last season, Labidi was active with the Genk U15, which won the national title in their age category. By offering him a professional contract, K.R.C. Genk hopes that the teenager will continue to develop and quickly grow in the near future. The club has therefore made a good choice by signing Labidi. But it is now important that he continues to develop and realizes his potential. So it's a matter of waiting to see how things go with this young player. K.R.C. Genk's youth academy has a good reputation for developing young players, and Labidi is the latest example of this.
