Arteta Says Kevin De Bruyne is One of the Best Players in Premier League History
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hailed Kevin De Bruyne as one of the greatest players in Premier League history.
Arteta, who previously worked with De Bruyne as an assistant at Manchester City, praised the midfielder’s exceptional technical skills and why he believes De Bruyne stands out from the rest.
On Friday, De Bruyne announced his departure from City with a heartfelt message across his social media platforms. His contract with the club will end at the close of this season, making him a free agent come summer.
Ahead of Arsenal’s match against Everton, Arteta was asked about De Bruyne’s impact.
The Arsenal boss said, “He’s right up there. I’m not sure if he’s number one, two, or three, but in my view, he’s undeniably one of the best in Premier League history. I’ve never played with anyone who can execute with such precision at such high speeds.”
Additionally, Arteta went on to describe De Bruyne’s remarkable ability to run at 33 or 34 kilometres per hour and deliver a perfect 30-meter pass through a tight space. “I’ve never seen anyone do that at that pace,” Arteta added.
Also, he mentioned De Bruyne’s mental strength, saying, “What makes him truly special, aside from his technical gifts, is his mindset. Kevin is always willing to take risks and push forward. Even when things don’t go his way, he keeps trying, and that resilience sets him apart.”
De Bruyne’s achievements at City are staggering, with six league titles to his name and an impressive 70 goals and 118 assists in 280 Premier League appearances. He ranks second on the all-time assist list, only behind Ryan Giggs (162).
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
