With one spot away from the best midfielder in world football, we fix our attention on another Belgian midfield sensation. Kevin De Bruyne has performed impressively for both club and country. The attacking-midfielder has brilliant passing and crossing ability. Also, his swashbuckling, playmaking style, as well as his shots from distance, make him a threat.

With Pep Guardiola’s side known for their high rate of possession, De Bruyne lies at the heart of the squad. His incredible stamina allow him to dictate play throughout the entire game. Not only can the Belgian create chances in the final third, but he is able to build an attack from deep within his own half.

Kevin De Bruyne has won trophies in England, Germany and Belgium. He has scored 35 goals and obtained 57 assists in his 147 appearances for Manchester City.
