#5 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) - £99 million

Kevin De Bruyne is the early favourite to win the 2017/18 PFA player of the year award

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."

Achieving some great things in Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne is arguably the best midfielder in world football at the moment.
