With 15 assists already to his name this season, Kevin De Bruyne is looking increasingly likely to break Thierry Henry's record of 20 assists in a single season, a record that hasn't been broken for 17 years. And this could see De Bruyne deservedly be named the assist king and simultaneously rise up the Ballon d'Or rankings, potentially becoming the first Belgian to win the award. However, De Bruyne may have to win the Champions League before being considered for the award in a City side that has never reached the finals of the competition. This could see De Bruyne snubbed for the award for many years to come despite becoming the assist king of the Premier League.

Although, it has to be said that if De Bruyne was to win the Champions League as well as further improve, we could well see the midfielder follow in the footsteps of previous winners such as Luka Modric to win the sacred award within the next 10 years.
