Currently a victim of his own success, the Belgian playmaker has been getting assists left and right and now has 76 assists in the Premier League. Kevin De Bruyne has taken 6 years to join the all-time greats of the Premier League and has joined the top 10 list now.

Tied with Teddy Sheringham in terms of assists with more to come soon

De Bruyne is just 18 assists short of surpassing David Silva who sits at 6th place in the top 10 of the Premier League. He will need 5 to surpass David Beckham and 10 to surpass James Milner in the top assists chart. In fact De Bruyne would have had more if there Raheem Sterling was not wasteful with the chances he got. The midfielder is a prolific goal scorer too and has a wicked right foot for which he has a fondness of attempting long shots with.

Kevin De Bruyne has won the Premier League twice and the Carabao Cup thrice with the blue side of Manchester and will be aiming to win the Champions League next.

Currently it can be said in all of Europe, there is not a better creative midfielder than Kevin De Bruyne, this despite Liverpool having Thiago Alcantara. Kevin De Bruyne is simply leagues above any other midfielder and Manchester City got one of the steals of the decade as they signed him for just over £55 million. Like Real Madrid with Toni Kross and Liverpool with Mohamed Salah, Kevin De Bruyne will go down in history as one of the greatest and underrated transfers ever done.
