Crossword Genius

Youths multiplying in centre of Brussels (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

striplings

'youths' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'multiplying in centre of brussels' is the wordplay.
'multiplying' becomes 'tripling' (tripling is a kind of multiplying).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'centre of' says to take the centre.
The middle letters of 'brussels' are 'ss'.
'tripling' going inside 'ss' is 'STRIPLINGS'.

(Another definition for striplings that I've seen is " youngsters".)
