I think he is very talented in terms of dribbling and ball control but in recent times whenever former footballers are asked about future balon d or contenders,his name is always mentioned but he is 23 years of age now and still he is not a starter for man City ,his best position is up for debate(rw or advanced 8)and while he has put in some good performances for city I have not seen enough from him to say he will be a future balon d or contender consistently. He seems like Bernardo Silva level player to me which is a very good player but not a balon d or contender(consistently) player.He also resembles him in style quite a bit.
I think the main issue is that his best position is in conflict with the best player in the world at that position. In the games this season where he plays that KDB role of a free roaming tempo setter, he does phenomenal.
Without KDB foden won’t be able to do the de bruyne things I assure you 😂
