Man City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan believes it will be difficult to replace Kevin De Bruyne at the Etihad.
The 33-year-old will conclude his decade-long Man City career once his contract expires at the end of the season.
In an interview with ESPN, Gundogen, 34, was full of praise for the Belgian, suggesting he’s the best player in the club’s history.

He said, “He’s irreplaceable. We know that no one will just come and be a replacement for him. Of course it will be covered somehow. The club always does that.
“What Kev has done for the club is unbelievable. For me personally, in the history of Man City, there is no better player than Kevin De Bruyne. It’s been a pleasure for me to share a pitch with him for such a long time.
“I’ve had that connection with him off the pitch, so it’s been a privilege to get to know him and his family.”
