Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says Kevin de Bruyne is a candidate for Player of the Year.
The Belgium has scored seven and made six goals in 15 City games since arriving in Manchester for £54m from Wolfsburg.
Pellegrini said: "He has so many games between now and the end of the season but I'm sure he will continue and he will be involved in those awards.
"It's important he keeps playing the way he has so far.
"I always say the way we play is good for him with his style of football.
"I hope he will continue making good assistance and working the way he did and scoring goals is also important.
"He also scored a lot of goals in Germany so we brought him here because he is a mix of a creative player and also a goalscorer."
