About the player
Joris Kayembe Ditu switched allegiance to DR Congo in 2023, having represented Belgium, the country of his birth, at youth level. Since then he has earned 14 caps for the senior side, scoring one goal.
Kayembe came through the Belgian academy system, starting out at R.S.D. Jette before moving on to FC Brussels and then Standard Liège. In 2013 he joined FC Porto, where he spent four years split between the B team and the first-team squad, interrupted by loan spells at FC Arouca and Rio Ave.
His move to FC Nantes in June 2017 came for an undisclosed fee, reportedly tied up with the arrival of manager Sergio Conceição.
Kayembe arrived at Genk on a free transfer in May 2023, signing a contract running to June 2027.
