After the meeting, Jamie Redknapp reaffirmed his admiration for the captain of the Devils. “We have already had great midfielders in the Premier League, like Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, David Silva or Yaya Touré, exceptional attacking midfielders. But I think De Bruyne is even better. He does things out of this world. The passes he has already made in his career, and certainly in England: there are not many who can do that.”
The former Liverpool midfielder didn't stop there. “Additionally, he can score different types of goals. It now turns out that he can also score with his diving header. I didn't expect that from him. Every time I see him play, I sit there with my mouth open. De Bruyne is also the perfect role model for Phil Foden who can see every day how he trains and touches the balls and learns from one of the geniuses of the game.”
