Kevin De Bruyne: Player Analysis | Goals & Assists Stats | Trophies

Kevin de Bruyne is considered as one of the best attacking midfielders in the world today, especially since Pep Guardiola took over as Man City manager. But do you know how it started for the Belgian? Let's find out!

How it Began for Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin de Bruyne began his career at Genk in 2010. After winning the 2010-11 Belgian Pro League, the Belgian moved to Chelsea in 2012. However, lack of game time saw the midfielder move on loan to Werder Bremen.

A successful stint led to Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg for £18m in 2014. The move will be embedded into history books as a turning point in De Bruyne's career as he managed to redeem himself as one of the best in the German top-flight.

The success overnight earned him a way back into the Premier League, but this time he signed for Manchester City for a club-record £54m. And not just us, but the entire world knows the weightage behind the name.

His value has only increased with time, and his numbers have only amassed hefty attention and praise.

Kevin De Bruyne Style of Play

Regarded as one of the best playmakers in the world and a king of assists, De Bruyne has never failed to express his versatility on the field, and his position in central midfield in an offensive role is perhaps his most preferred one.

He can also play as a box-to-box midfielder, De Bruyne is renowned for his pinpoint crossing and providing valuable assists by setting up goals for his compatriots. He can shoot from both feet and he is City's most effective set-piece taker, especially since David Silva parted ways from the club.
