Man City’s ‘deceptively quick’ player lauded for being ‘as effective as Ronaldo and Messi’

Kevin De Bruyne is second in the Premier League for assists (11), second for average shots taken per game (3.3) and third for chances created (69), so the statistics prove he’s one of the best playmakers in the country this season (WhoScored).

Pep Guardiola rubbished suggestions his side could score nine goals against Southampton and revealed his side are eager to bounce back after losing to Manchester United.

The 29-year-old has had a hand in 14 goals from 22 league games and hasn’t gone more than three top-flight outings without contributing.
