Belgium coach Georges Leekens is delighted seeing Kevin De Bruyne join Chelsea. De Bruyne has since been loaned back to RacingGenk for the remainder of the season.
"I'm really proud that Kevin De Bruyne has moved to a big club like Chelsea. He has known difficult times, but is now back on top," said Leekens.
"In Belgium, we sometimes are too impatient. I find it amazing that three Belgians are under contract at Chelsea. It is a signal to our youth: if you 're good, they'll find you."
