Graeme Souness has admitted that he cannot think of a single flaw Kevin De Bruyne has in his game.
Ahead of the Manchester Derby, Roy Keane also praised the Belgian captain for being one of the best players to have ever graced the Premier League.
In the build-up to Manchester City’s 3-1 win against Manchester United, John Stones also claimed that Kevin De Bruyne has been one of the best players in the league for years at this point.
Graeme Souness says Kevin De Bruyne has no flaws in his game
Such is the brilliance of De Bruyne, who showcased his class against United on Sunday, albeit despite not being at his unplayable best.
Even Antonio Rudiger, who plays in the same side as Jude Bellingham admitted that the 32-year-old is a superior midfielder to the Englishman.
Now, Graeme Souness has described Manchester City maestro Kevin De Bruyne as a flawless player while singing his praises on talkSPORT.
“Yeah, he walks into anyone’s team. I don’t know, what is there to dislike about him? He’s got the hard yards in him, he works his socks off, he’s got goals in him, he sees a pass. It’d be far easier for me to say what he’s not good at and I can’t think of one”, he said.
“Heading, maybe? I’ve not seen him score a headed goal. He’s hopeless,”, Souness joked.
“But no, he’s proper. In anyone’s books, he’s proper.”
The Manchester City legend is virtually flawless as far as attacking midfielders go
In our view, Graeme Souness is bang on the money about Kevin De Bruyne, who is as perfect a number 10 as one can get.
While other attacking midfielders in history have been able to play the incredible passes De Bruyne plays, while also being able to carry the ball and chip in with important goals, how many of them brought the entire package to the table?
The five-time Premier League winner is able to tick all such boxes while also being a world-class crosser of the ball and a workhorse defensively, which arguably makes him the most complete natural attacking midfielder in the 21st century.
It is easy to be blinded by nostalgia but when one tries to think of De Bruyne’s flaws like Souness, they realise just how ridiculously well-rounded he is and has been for years now.
