Kevin De Bruyne - a faster David Beckham

Everyone knows how much a fan I am of the current Belgium football team - and I just wanted to say a few words about one of their young players, currently plying his trade in the English Premier League with Chelsea.

One of my favourite players in this Belgian squad is Chelsea youngster Kevin De Bruyne (22).  This young lad's pace, technique and overall hunger and appetite for the game is a joy to be hold.  He is one of the best attacking young midfielders in Europe and despite being a first pick for Belgium, he does not start for Chelsea every week and that is a real shame, because the Chelsea fans are missing out.

He was one of the top players in the German Bundesliga last season on loan with Werder Bremen and apparently Wolfsburg are eyeing up a January move for him.  To be honest, he would be far better off away from Stamford Bridge playing somewhere else as he could play for any team in Europe, such is his talent.

  Chelsea have just got far too many attacking midfield players to keep absolutely everyone happy and if your face doesn't fit at that club...

Kevin De Bruyne.
How would I describe Kevin De Bruyne?  A faster David Beckham, who can dribble, score goals and has a left foot equally as good as his right.  To think that England could've snapped him up (his mother is actually English) - but he chose to represent the country of his birth.  England's loss and Belgium's gain.
