Standard Liege star man Steven Defour is regarded as one of the best players in the Belgian league and is sure to earn a move to a European luminary in the coming years.
The central midfielder, who won the Belgian league’s Golden Boot award in 2007, has got fantastic vision to partner his excellent work rate and leadership skills.
Capped 27 times for the Belgium national team, scoring one goal in the process, Defour is a physical, capable ball-winner who adds steel and class to the midfield.
He has been captaining Standard Liege since he was just 19 years old and was previously linked to Palermo, Fenerbahce, Benfica, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United themselves among other European household names.

@danypereyra79 hummmm que coincidência… teres uns tios que por obra do acaso são sócios do Liège e ainda por cima além de sócios do standard Liège ainda são adeptos do Benfica. ……já não se fazem mentirosos como dantes já me tinhas perdido quando disses-te que eram sócios então quando acrescentas-te "adeptos do benfica" fiquei ainda mais desmoralizado com essa tua descabida mentira….
Belgian press confirms transfer of defour and mangala to fc porto.
realy your gonna like him porto, hes the kind of player that runs 90 minutes, verry good positioning, he defends good, avery pass is correct even true passes, and hes a real leader on the pitch a little downsight he doesnt shoot much at goal, but VERRY much luck in PORTO STEVEN DEFOUR RSCL nr 8!
Welcome to FCPORTO ! BEST TEAM OF PORTUGAL AND ONE OF THE BEST IN EUROPE 🙂
@filipesilvasantos
well they played together central midfield at standard, and you can say, defour was more defend and witsel was more attack, but i think they are equaly but with a lot of differences: witsel is MORE PURE TALENT and DEFOUR PURE LEADER and more mature, defour is like pirlo and witsel like kevin prince boateng
@kalibradoboy witsel e um bom jogador e tmb tinha lugar no porto. mas é mais um medio so de ataque , e o defour é um 8 tipo joao moutinho , consistente e ocupa bem os espaços. e o porto nao joga com nr 10 declarado como acontece no benfas de merda
Welcome to Porto.
dos jogos que vi muito superior ao witsel…
acho que vai ser trinco
did he play in 6 (defense midlefielder)
is he a defensive midlefielder? he plays in that position in standart?
@Themusicisme4ever he is an attacking midfielder turned into a defensive midfielder due to his grinta and his will to work and fight for the ball. very complete midfielder imho
@bibooporto Both are different players… Both are quite box to box… but Witsel prefers to attack and dribble…
Defour prefers to sit back read the game, and pass with a more defensive role (kinda like Xabi alonso does).
@jasonsmuffins Witsel, because Steven did not play very much last year for us… Many injuriers on his shoulder.
