Bayern Munich ace Franck Ribery is a big fan of VfL Wolfsburg winger Kevin de Bruyne.

De Bruyne is being linked with Bayern, Manchester City and Manchester United.

"When I look at him, I conclude he is different footballer compared with Arjen Robben or me," said Ribery.

"De Bruyne is not a player who picks up the ball and dribbles, he is a footballer who likes to face the opposition," explains Ribery. "De Bruyne is just great if he has space to counter.

"Bayern have only three or four meters space. That's not much. But: De Bruyne is a good player and he is still young. He can learn a lot."
