10 best midfielders in world football at the moment

#1 Kevin de Bruyne - Manchester City

Manchester City v Stoke City - Premier League

There were slight murmurs of unrest among City fans when Kevin de Bruyne arrived from VfL Wolfsburg for €74 million, but the Belgian has repaid that fee and then some. Pep Guardiola's arrival, however, has catapulted de Bruyne from great midfielder to one of (and probably) the best in the world.

The City midfielder has racked up 9 assists and 3 goals already this season and looks dead set to win the Premier League Player of the Year award. He also tends to thrive in big games, chipping in with some crucial goals and assists.

So De Bruyne has at least a goal or assist v Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Barca, PSG, Napoli in just over 2 yrs at Man City?

The Belgian is the best midfielder in the world at the moment, and if he continues in the same vein, then Manchester City can expect to lift the Premier League and maybe, even the UEFA Champions League at the end of the season.
