Belgian playmaker and midfielder, Kevin de Bruyne is in the form of his life and prime of his career and is putting on a show at the World Cup. With huge responsibility on his shoulders and prior World Cup experience, de Bruyne is primed and set to play his heart out in Russia, with the team fulfilling the golden generation tag.

The Belgian departed Stamford Bridge in 2014 to receive more playing time in Germany with Wolfsburg but then joined Manchester City a year later, much to the Blues frustration and proved to become a Premier League champion.

With the player in his stride and playing the best football of his life, Chelsea will regret selling the player, looking at how devastating he is, in multiple positions. De Bruyne has become one of the best midfielders in the World and his performances in Russia prove it.
