Kyle Walker has claimed that one of his teammates at Manchester City could go down as the greatest Premier League player of all time in his position.
Over the years, even legendary defenders like Gary Neville have stated that Kyle Walker himself is the best right-back in Premier League history.
Jack Grealish told Amazon Prime Video Sport that his Manchester City teammate has surpassed Gary Neville as the Premier League’s greatest right-back as well.
Kyle Walker makes huge claim about one Man City teammate
Now, Kyle Walker has stated that Kevin De Bruyne could go down as the greatest midfielder to have ever graced the Premier League.
In an episode of the BBC’s You’ll Never Beat Kyle Walker, he said: “The likes of the Kevin’s [De Bruyne] probably go down as one of the best, if not the best, I think midfielder in the Premier League. He’s one of them ones, he doesn’t mind giving the ball away. So, he’ll try a 40-yard pass and if it doesn’t succeed, the norm would probably say, probably not doing that again.”
Walker concluded: “He just thinks, you know what, sod it, I’m just going to do it again.”
While Kyle Walker has not definitively claimed that Kevin De Bruyne is the greatest-ever Premier League midfielder, Joe Cole felt he had surpassed all of the greats.
The pundit admitted that he feels the £54.5 million man is a superior player to Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Paul Scholes, despite playing with the trio for England.
Kyle Walker shares interesting Kevin De Bruyne revelation
Having played with Kevin De Bruyne for seven years at Manchester City, Kyle Walker truly knows how special a player is. Not many would argue with Walker about De Bruyne being one of the Premier League’s best-ever midfielders.
Interestingly, Walker touched on how De Bruyne has a fearless mindset when it comes to trying things on a football pitch.
As the Manchester City captain stated, a majority of players would not take such risks after failing once or twice — in the fear of losing the ball.
But due to the Belgian captain’s fearlessness in this regard, he has perhaps been able to produce moments of magic, whether that be through a majestic assist or a thunderous strike into the back of the net.
