Premier League legend Thierry Henry has named Kevin De Bruyne as the most clever player he's ever seen

Former Arsenal star Thierry Henry has named Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne as the cleverest player he's ever seen.

Henry, who played with some of the greatest players in football history, praised De Bruyne's exceptional vision and intelligence on the pitch.

What Henry said

Henry worked with De Bruyne during his time as assistant manager of the Belgium national team and was impressed by the midfielder's abilities.

"I think Kevin, his brain is the best I've ever seen, the way he sees the game," Henry said.

He continued, "Because his brain is in some places, I don't know what he thinks about sometimes, you look at him and it's almost like he's not with us because he's that good."

"Some time it can be a problem because you're not on his level, but I think he's the most clever player I've seen in my life," Henry added.

De Bruyne recently announced his departure from Manchester City, where he has played a key role in the team's success under Pep Guardiola.

Henry's praise cements De Bruyne's reputation as one of the best midfielders of his generation.
