Top 5 footballers who play the killer-ball in the Premier League 

#1 Kevin de Bruyne

Of all the players Chelsea let go, de Bruyne must hurt the most.

The undisputed king of assists this season has been Kevin de Bruyne. The Belgian has been playing like it's nobody's business and has already handed the League title to Manchester City with his sublime ability to never err with a pass.

Having moved form Wolfsburg for close to £40 million, he has seen his value sky-rocket to three times that number and is currently one of the hottest properties in world football.

The former Chelsea star has raised the bar as far as playmaking in the Premier League is concerned, making the likes of Ozil, Pogba and Fabregas seem out of touch.

When Pep Guardiola raised the Belgian's profile after taking over, by stating that he is the best player in the side despite Toure, Silva, Kompany and Aguero in the same team, few could fathom what it was that made the Spaniard make such a claim.

Two years on, we all know. De Bruyne always seems to be three, four, five steps ahead of his opponents who fail to cope with the standards set by him, and he doesn't require any time on the ball to play 'that killer-pass'.

Apart from scoring some sumptuous goals this season (7 in the league) the Belgian has also provided an assist every other game. This sees him sit pretty on top of our list and we're certain no one's arguing!
