Arguably the best midfielder in world football at the moment, Kevin De Bruyne was the driving force behind Pep Guardiola's stunning Manchester City side. Narrowly missing out on the Premier League Player of the Year award to Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, the Belgian superstar has taken his game to the next level this season.
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."
Still only 26, De Bruyne is at the peak of his powers and is definitely one of the most valuable players in world football at the moment.
