Hurzeler believes that De Cuyper, a Belgium fullback, needs time to adjust to the Premier League's high intensity, but is capable of replacing Estupinan's skills.
According to Hurzeler, De Cuyper has shown promising signs in training, particularly in his ability to penetrate the opponent's defense and play efficient passes.
Hurzeler added that De Cuyper has a good left foot and is a clever player who knows how to play with precision.
The German manager acknowledged that Estupinan was a great player for Brighton, but emphasized that De Cuyper brings a different character and profile to the team.
Hurzeler expressed hope that De Cuyper will bring new and exciting things to the team, and that he is doing a good job so far.
