Kevin De Bruyne is another one of Chelsea's famous outcasts who has gone on to have a magnificent career.

He joined Chelsea in 2012 but was underutilized. He was then shipped to the German Bundesliga and went on to be named Footballer of the Year in Germany for 2015.

KDB was bought by Man City for a club record of £54 million in 2015. He has gone on to be named Manchester City Player of the Year on two occasions. The Belgian has won a host of trophies for the Manchester club, including 2 consecutive Premier League titles and 1 FA Cup.

He bagged the Playmaker award in 2018 with 16 assists, however, last time out his season was blighted with injuries. He only managed to play in 19 games, notching 2 assists.

Kevin De Bruyne is regarded as a complete footballer, with his advanced technical ability garnering praise from fans and pundits. When fighting fit, he is a frightening prospect to play against.

KDB will enter the new campaign fresh and battle-hungry, and he is sure to dish out more than a few clinical final balls to Pep Guardiola's ensemble cast of potent forwards.
