Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has hailed Kevin De Bruyne as one of the top 3 midfielders in Premier League history.
The Manchester City superstar has often been put alongside some of the greatest midfielders to ever grace the English game.
So much so that according to many, the Belgian icon is set to retire as the league’s finest player in his position.
With 9 assists and 3 goals in the Premier League this campaign as well, De Bruyne has once again been the division’s standout midfielder.
And according to the Englishman, he deserves his place amongst the pantheon of legendary midfielders in English football.
Alexander-Arnold showers praise on De Bruyne
In an interview with talkSPORT, Liverpool hero Trent Alexander-Arnold admitted Kevin De Bruyne is one of the top 3 midfielders the Premier League has ever seen.
“The best midfielder in the world, hands down. For me, somehow he constantly keeps trying to sneak into my top-three best Prem midfielders ever really. I’ve never seen someone be able to create like he does.”
“He will go down as one of the best midfielders in Premier League history for me.”
Fair play to Alexander-Arnold for keeping rivalries aside
For the past couple of years, Liverpool and Man City’s rivalry has been up there with some of the very best in the league’s history.
And it’s fair to say that Pep Guardiola’s side have come out on top so far, winning 4 out of the last 5 titles.
However, this has not stopped Alexander-Arnold from appreciating De Bruyne’s greatness.
Instead of merely complimenting the Sky Blues legend, he has waxed lyrical about his undeniable brilliance.
There is no sense of bitterness in the Reds sensation’s claims, as he comes across keen on giving him his credit.
One has to credit Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold for not letting club rivalries get in the way of crediting Kevin De Bruyne as one of the top 3 midfielders in Premier League history.
