Manchester City superstar Kevin De Bruyne has made a name for himself emerging as perhaps the best midfielder in the Premier League in recent years. The Belgian international has been on the top of his game and has played a big role in City’s success.
Manchester City was on a roll, claiming the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history last season. Although fans have gushed about Erling Haaland, no one can take away the impact Kevin De Bruyne has had for the treble winners. With fans always debating on who is the best Premier League midfielder of all time, it seems like Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster has also joined the fray with his opinion on the matter.

With the Premier League known for its rich history of midfielders, fans have always debated who is the best midfielder of all time. Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster recently touched on the topic on his podcast, claiming Kevin De Bruyne as the best ranking him over some of the all-time legends of the game.
“He is on a different level. Even if you got Scholsey, Gerrard, and Lampard all in their prime. Like best they have ever played, yeah, and you put them against Kevin De Bruyne. I still think Kevin De Bruyne comes out ahead of them.”
While one could argue with Foster’s opinion, considering KDB has a long way to go in comparison to the legends. No one can deny the fact that the Belgian midfielder is one of the best of his generation.
