Manchester City's Vincent Kompany: 'Kevin de Bruyne is phenomenal'

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has predicted that new signing Kevin de Bruyne will have a "big impact" at the club following his £55m move.

The Belgium international, who left Chelsea to join Wolfsburg last year for around £18m, signed a six-year deal with the former Premier League champions on Sunday.

"He's a phenomenal player," Kompany told the club's official website. "You don't need to look at how he plays. If you go through a season he gets assists and goals and he's always involved in everything that's positive going forward. He's a player who's going to have a big impact.

"A lot has been said about the transfer, but really there are so many other big players that he'll settle in quite nicely."

City currently have a three-point lead at the top of the league table after winning their first four games.
