Man City skipper Kompany hails 'tremendous talent' De Bruyne

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has described new signing Kevin De Bruyne as a 'tremendous talent'.


City formally announced the signing of the 24-year-old Belgian international from Wolfsburg in a deal worth £54.5million on Sunday.

Kompany said he expects his international teammate to make a big impact at the Etihad Stadium.

"He is a tremendous talent. He has just got so many assists and goals in him," Kompany said.

"It doesn't really matter how the game goes for him, he is always making decisive plays.

"Over the course of a season that is ultimately what you pay for – more goals, more assists. He has just got something special."
