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).
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
