The Belgian footballer made his Premier League debut with Chelsea in 2012. But due to a star-studded lineup, he warmed the bench and didn’t get many chances. Later, he was transferred to Manchester City in 2015. At that time, no one knew the havoc he would create in the league.
De Bruyne has made over 250 appearances in the Premier League. He has scored over 60 goals and provided 109 assists. Not only that, but he has also won five Premier League titles and is one of the main contributors to all these successful campaigns.
