With Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne, the Premier League has two of the best midfielders in the world right now.

De Bruyne has been a phenomenal player for Manchester City since he was signed in 2015. There aren't many players who have the technique and vision the Belgian has. With the ball at his feet, he can provide an amazing range of passes with utmost accuracy and precision.

In 200 games in the Premier League, the three-time winner has bagged a rich haul of 49 goals and 80 assists.

Barring his first season in the English top flight, De Bruyne has always been among the top two assist providers in the competition every season. However, the 30-year old has tallied six fewer assists in the competition since Bruno Fernandes's arrival.

De Bruyne has had a quiet 2021-22 campaign thus far in terms of assists, tallying only two in 20 games. However, he has scored seven goals as City are on course to win their fourth Premier League in five years.


#2 Trent Alexander-Arnold - 20
