AP Sports Writers (AP) — With unparalleled creative ability, a fierce shot and relentless work ethic, Kevin De Bruyne established himself as one of the Premier League’s greatest ever midfielders at Manchester City.

The Belgium playmaker announced Friday he will leave City at the end of the season after 10 years at the club.

Here’s a by-the-numbers look at his time at Etihad Stadium:

2

De Bruyne was named Premier League player of the season in 2019-20 and 2021-22.

16

The number of major trophies De Bruyne has helped City win over the past decade. The haul: six Premier League titles (2018, ‘19 and 2021-24); the Champions League (2023); the FA Cup twice (2019 and ’23); five English League Cup titles; the 2023 UEFA Super Cup; and the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup.

20

De Bruyne shares the record for the highest number of assists in a single Premier League season with Arsenal great Thierry Henry. De Bruyne’s tally came in the 2019-20 campaign.

70

The number of Premier League goals scored by De Bruyne in 280 appearances. He scored 15 league goals in the 2021-22 season, his most in a single campaign.

118

The Belgium playmaker is second all-time in the Premier League with 118 assists, with 117 of them coming at City and one at Chelsea. Manchester United great Ryan Giggs tops the list with 162 assists, though in 632 appearances. Only five players have 100 or more assists. Stats provider Opta said: “Of players to make 50+ appearances in the Premier League, Kevin De Bruyne has the best minutes-per-assist ratio in the competition’s history (177).”

827

In his 10 seasons at City, De Bruyne has created 827 chances in the Premier League — at least 294 more than No. 2 on the list (Christian Eriksen) over that period, according to Opta.
