English Premier League transfer news
Being in fine form for the 2nd best team in Germany this season, Kevin de Bruyne has attracted interest from a host of Premier League clubs this season. While he signed for Chelsea in the summer of 2012, lack of options available at the Stamford Bridge forced the Belgian to try his luck somewhere else.
With a move that was initially designated as a short term loan deal between the two clubs, Bruyne made his stay permanent at Wolfsburg this season and is since banging goals for fun.
Although he cost Wolfsburg a handsome 16.7million amount when he chose to make his stay permanent, that amount is now looking peanuts when the stature of clubs that have been chasing the Belgian is considered.
Although Manchester City are in pole position to land him in the summer, fellow German giants Bayern Munich and moneybag Paris Saint Germain are also keeping tabs regarding his future.
Even though Wolfsburg are ranked 2nd in the Bundesliga table – 10 points behind the Bavarians Bayern Munich, their lead over the 3rd place team is currently 7 points. Thus, while they are no match of Pep Guardiola’s men at the domestic level, they are the most feared team when it comes to Europa League this season.
Kevin De Bruyne has been responsible for 45% of goals that Wolfsburg has managed this season
Overall for Wolfsburg where they have scored 55 goals so far this season in Bundesliga, Bas Dost leads the goal scoring charts with 13 goals to his name. However, despite being behind in the goal-scoring charts, the Belgian has been leading in virtually every other aspect.
With 9 goals to his name already, De Bruyne has managed 16 assists for his team-mates already this season. Thus Kevin de Bruyne has been responsible of 45% of the goals that Wolfsburg has scored this season. He also has created a record 81 chances for the German side this season – 44 more than the player who stands next to him in the list.
Thus, while his valuation of 40million Euros at once looks huge, he has all the artillery in his ranks to justify his price tag wherever he goes in the summer.
