#5 Kevin De Bruyne
Kevin De Bruyne has been the engineer behind Manchester City's swashbuckling brand of football. Frankly speaking, if this was a list of midfielders, the Belgian would have scooped the first prize by a mile.
The Belgian, scoring 11 and assisted another 14 this season, is an integral part of a well-oiled juggernaut under Pep Guardiola. The midfielder is bound to lay his hands on a number of accolades on both club and personal level this season.
Holding on to players like David Silva and Sergio Aguero is a crucial reason why the Citizens have succeeded in establishing themselves as a major powerhouse in the sport. Doing the same with the 26-year-old will be equally vital because, with the impressive performances he has put in, transfer bids are bound to flood in during the summer, though they have tied him up until 2023.
