Flor Van den Eynden (born 29 July 2000) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for club Helmond Sport.
He was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation 2017" of the 60 best young talents in world football.[1]
Van den Eynden played youth football for KFC Lille, Westerlo, Beerschot, Mechelen and the Italian club Inter Milan.
In 2019, he joined Dutch second-tier Eerste Divisie club Eindhoven on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract.[2] He made his debut for the club on 27 September 2019 in a 4–1 home win against Telstar, coming off the bench in the 88th minute for Samy Bourard.[3] He scored his first goal for Eindhoven in the 4–0 cup victory against Rijnsburgse Boys.[4] After two seasons, his contract with Eindhoven expired. Afterwards, he was on trial with Lierse Kempenzonen and Lommel, but this did not result in a contract.[5] [6]
