Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher have both said that Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne would make their all-time Premier League XIs.
De Bruyne put on a stunning display as City thrashed RB Leipzig 7-0 (8-1) to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday night.
He rounded off his eye-catching performance with a brilliant late strike, well and truly announcing that he is back to his best after what has been somewhat of a difficult patch.
Speaking after the game Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher were suitably impressed with Belgian and agreed that he is one of the best England has seen.
'Would he make your starting XI of the Prem?' Henry asked Carragher.
'All-time Premier League XI I think Kevin De Bruyne would be in it, yeah,' replied Carragher. 'Me too,' Henry concurred.
Fellow pundit Micah Richards added that the difference with De Bruyne is that 'when he's on it, he can make something out of nothing'.
De Bruyne has long been regarded as one of, if not the best, midfielders in the world.
He has been named in the Premier League Team of the Season in four of the last five campaigns and also lifted the trophy the same amount of times in that period.
The 31-year-old also finished third in the most recent Ballon d'Or.
In total he has contributed 61 goals and 98 assists in 235 appearances in the English top flight, helping his side win 163 of those games.

De bruyne can only shine in premier league. That's why he'll never be in the discussion of best midfielders of all time. Best midfielders are those midfielders who creates magic in the biggest stage of world football ( ie Champions league and world cup) That's why Modric, Zidane, Iniesta, Cruyff, Xavi and even Kroos are miles ahead of him
