Former Nigerian international Mikel Obi says Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is always a joy to watch in the Premier League.
The Belgian international who is expected to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer after announcing his departure, has been an integral part of Man City’s title success.
In a chat with the Obi One Podcast, Mikel stated that De Bruyne made the EPL better to watch due to his eye-catching passes and skills at Man City.
“Kevin (De Bruyne) has made the Premier League a much better league to watch. Because he’s just sheer talent. The vision he has, the way he plays the game, the awareness,” Mikel said on the Obi One Podcast.
“For him to come into the team that had Yaya Toure, and Fernandinho and start performing the way he did straight away, just playing game after game, creating those assists and scoring goals is great. He has been fantastic for over a decade. He’s been a huge part of the success that City has had.
“This is the only player that you can say without him, City would struggle. Because he is that good.
