10 best midfielders
Who is ranked number 1?

#3 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)

Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
De Bruyne has been on fire for Manchester City this season

One of the most complete midfielders in world football, Kevin De Bruyne is undoubtedly the jewel in the Manchester City crown. Known for his immaculate technique, a wide range of passing skills and ability to score spectacular long-range goals, De Bruyne has been key to City’ s consistent performances in both the Premier League and Champions League.

De Bruyne’s importance to Pep Guardiola and the Manchester City team can be seen by these quotes from Guardiola himself. Speaking in an earlier interview, the legendary Spanish manager said:

"I think he is a special, outstanding player. He makes everything. Without the ball he is the first fighter, and with the ball he is clear – he sees absolutely everything."

Having started the season in blistering fashion, the Belgian superstar will be keen to continue his stunning form in 2018. The way he is playing at the moment, the 26-year-old will probably be on top of this list next year.
