Right midfield: Kevin de Bruyne
Trending
There were notions that Manchester City had vastly overpaid when they went out and splashed a whopping £55 million to land Kevin De Bruyne from VfL Wolfsburg last summer. Witht the Belgian’s previous stint being a failure at Chelsea, the question still remained on whether he was really cut out for the Premier League?
Well, he has proved his doubters wrong and in an emphatic fashion. If not for the mid season injury, he would definitely have had a spot in that team. De Bruyne has been involved in 15 goals (6 goals and 9 assists) in only 20 starts, and has often produced when City have needed him most. His arrival from injury was a big morale boost for the Citizens as he scored in both legs of the quarter final tie against PSG to help them book a spot in the last 4 of the champions league.
Not the most athletic looking advanced midfielder, he is nevertheless blessed with a quick brain and a superb range of skills. If there is a player for Pep Guardiola to build the new Man City around, it is surely the young Belgian inexplicably sold by Chelsea before becoming Bundesliga player of the year.
