#2 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)

Chelsea v Manchester City - Premier League — Kevin De Bruyne is undoubtedly the best midfielder in world football at the moment

Undoubtedly the jewel in the Manchester City crown, Kevin De Bruyne has been one of the key reasons behind Manchester City's dominance this season. A complete midfielder, the Belgian maestro has arguably taken his game to the next level under Pep Guardiola.

The 26-year-old Belgian playmaker, along with Mohamed Salah, is already the favourite to win the PFA Player of the Year award and it is easy to see why.

Having scored 7 and assisted another 14 goals, De Bruyne has dovetailed excellently with the likes of Sterling, Leroy Sane and Aguero, and his intelligent and incisive passing has often broken through stubborn defences.

With Manchester City having all but already sealed the Premier League title, De Bruyne will be looking forward to continuing his excellent personal form and cement his place as the best midfielder in Europe this season.
