Haunted by his inability to make the grade at Chelsea, De Bruyne’s move to Wolfsburg and subsequent transfer back to the Premier League to join the Etihad crew for a club record £55m has put him firmly in the bracket of very good players the world over.
His record of 14 goals and 31 assists in just 71 games tells of a player at the top of his game and the signs are that he will get better as time goes on.
A two-footed genius capable of playing in any position across the midfield, his long and short range passing abilities, acceleration, dribbling, set piece and shooting from outside the box skill set has helped him become the fulcrum of a Manchester City side marching ominously towards the Premier League title.
In a list of great playmakers, Kevin De Bruyne’s ability to mix it up and excel stands him out of the crowd.
Averaging 49.39% passes every game, De Bruyne is as adept at ghosting into scoring positions like Mhkitaryan, has the same laser-precise passing abilities as Ozil, can play effectively across different positions like Coutinho and is as deadly at set-piece situations and deliveries like Eriksen.
With 1 goal and three assists so far this season, expect more greatness from KDB as he is affectionately called.
