Kompany: 'Phenomenal' De Bruyne would make Manchester City stronger

The 24-year-old is the subject of a 45 million pound bid from the Premier League giant and his fellow Belgian admits he would be delighted to see the deal completed.

Kevin De Bruyne is a "phenomenal player" who would make Manchester City or any other team in the world stronger, according to countryman Vincent Kompany.

Goal revealed on Sunday that City had made Wolfsburg an enticing offer worth 45 million pounds ($70.3 million) for De Bruyne, who lit up the Bundesliga last season with 10 goals and 20 assists and also scored in a 3-1 DFB Pokal final victory over Borussia Dortmund.
