Cesc Fabregas, a former Premier League player with 350 top-flight appearances, has named Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City as one of the all-time greats in the league. Fabregas highlighted De Bruyne’s contributions to City, including 375 appearances, 101 goals, and 166 assists since his arrival in 2015 for £54m. Fabregas included De Bruyne in his all-time Premier League XI alongside Patrick Vieira and Steven Gerrard.

De Bruyne’s exceptional footballing brain and skills have also been praised by other former Premier League stars like Thierry Henry. Henry described De Bruyne as having the best footballing brain he has ever seen, praising his intelligence on the field and his ability to think ahead of others. De Bruyne’s impact on games, both with City and the Belgian national team, has solidified his status as one of the top players in the league.

With De Bruyne’s success in winning five Premier League titles with City and his influence on the field, it is no surprise that Fabregas considers him one of the best ever players in the league.
