Wout Felix Lina Faes (born 3 April 1998) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as centre-back for Premier League club Leicester City and the Belgium national team.

He could then count on interest from Premier League club Chelsea and Manchester United,[3] but he still signed his first professional contract with Anderlecht.

[13] The first three matchdays, Faes was in the starting lineup of head coach Mitchell van der Gaag, who emphasized defensive football, but afterwards he received less playing time due to the renewal of Jordy de Wijs's loan deal.

[15] In the summer of 2018, Faes decided to permanently leave Anderlecht as he signed a three-year contract with first-tier club Oostende, where he was reunited with Gert Verheyen, his former coach from the national youth teams.

[20] Faes, who played a good first half of the season and regularly wore the captain's armband, was eventually sold on 31 January 2020 to the French Ligue 1 club Reims.

After officially joining Reims from the start of the 2020–21 season, Faes made his Ligue 1 debut on 23 August 2020 in a 2–2 away draw against Monaco, in which he played the full match.

[27] On 1 September 2022, Faes joined Premier League club Leicester City on a five-year deal for a reported fee of £15 million.

[29] Faes was praised for his impact on the club's defence since his debut, and in the seven Premier League games since the match against Tottenham, Leicester recorded five clean sheets.

[35] Together with Leicester City teammates Timothy Castagne and Youri Tielemans, he was subsequently called up to Belgium's squad for the World Cup in November 2022.
