Kevin De Bruyne has been a revelation since returning to the Premier League with Manchester City despite having been deemed surplus to requirements by Chelsea in 2014.
The Belgian has scored 47 goals and provided his team-mates with 77 assists since arriving at the Etihad Stadium and that record would be even more impressive had it not been for a number of unfortunate injuries.
The 28-year-old announced a brand new partnership with Turtle Beach, an electronics brand based in the United States but these fans took the opportunity to heap further praise on the City midfielder.

Yes
No

What do we think?
Kevin De Bruyne, who is valued at £135m by TransferMarkt, has been a bright spark in what’s been a largely disappointing Premier League campaign so far for the Cityzen’s. Pep Guardiola’s side have an opportunity to close the gap on second-place Leicester City to just a solitary point with a win at the Etihad on Saturday.
The City faithful will be hoping the former Wolfsburg man is on top form as they will need to be at their best to overcome a stubborn and ever-improving Leicester side.
