Manchester City attacker Kevin De Bruyne admits he appreciates playing with David Silva.

Speaking with Bleacher Report, the 28-year-old, who has played for GenkChelsea, Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen and City also revealed his favourite team-mate of all time.

"Somebody with the best fundamentals in the game, and has the things that you need, for me is David Silva," he said. "In every sport you can do the flashy things, but to do the basics so well is amazing.

"Even in training, he does everything so well, even in training you can't take the ball off of him, it's incredible to see because in England they say you need power and speed but you work with your brain and the rest comes. He's won everything as well, trophies here, titles in Spain.

"I think he's played 125 times for Spain with Xavi and Andreas Iniesta, if you're playing that much in that team, it says enough."
