Trending
When Manchester City broke their club transfer record twice in the same summer, there was no doubt as to who the bigger star was. While Raheem Sterling was looked at as an acquisition for the future, Kevin De Bruyne was expected to slot straight into the lineup and deliver.
The 24-year-old “Chelsea reject” had stormed to the top of the assists chart in the Bundesliga during his time with Wolfsburg and clubs were starting to take notice of the prodigious Belgian talent. And soon, City came in with an offer they simply could not refuse.
With a point to prove in the Premier League, De Bruyne set about doing just that. 15 goals and 9 assists in all competitions in spite of missing a crucial period of the season due to a knee injury prove City have done good business. After all, he did score the crucial goal to knock the all-conquering PSG out of the Champions League.
