Despite his brilliance in the Premier League, Kevin De Bruyne is yet to win the league's Player of the Month award.

De Bruyne, who has led Manchester City to many successes across the years, delivering breathtaking performances has never won the Player of the Month award in the Premier League.

Currently, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for Kevin De Bruyne to win the award.

It is shocking that the footballer's brilliance in the English top-flight division has never won him the player of the month award.

However, De Bruyne has won 2 Premier League Player of the Season awards, so winning the Player of the Month award might be inconsequential to the Belgian great.


Kevin De Bruyne joined Manchester City from VfL Wolfsburg on August 30, 2015, for a fee of €76 million.

The 32-year-old has played for two English clubs, namely; Chelsea and Manchester City.

His stint at Stamford Bridge wasn't alluring and that resulted in him joining VFL Wolfsburg on a permanent deal on January 18, 2014, for a fee of €22 million.

De Bruyne has been incredible for Manchester City since joining the club winning several trophies, including; 5 Premier League titles.

The Player of the Month award for the Premier League takes into account performances of players in the English top-flight division.

Unfortunately, Kevin De Bruyne hasn't done enough to convince individuals to hand him enough votes to win the gong.

The Belgian midfielder has been nominated for the award on several occasions, including; January 2024, September 2022, April 2023, October 2017 and December 2020.

De Bruyne has made 251 Premier League appearances, scoring 65 goals and providing 110 assists.

Known for his vision and goal scoring ability from long range, Kevin De Bruyne is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world, and he has often received plaudits from pundits, who have described him as a complete footballer.

Kevin De Bruyne is one of the best midfielders to have played in the Premier League and his name will be mentioned alongside legendary names like Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard.

Several of his Manchester City teammates past and present have been handed the Premier League Player of the Month award, including; Erling Haaland, IIkay Gundogan, and Sergio Aguero.

However, that award has eluded him, and it might not envelope his consciousness or bother him, but it is shocking that despite his years of brilliance in England, he is yet to win the Premier League Player of the Month award.

Kevin De Bruyne has made 370 appearances for Manchester City, scoring 98 goals and providing 166 assists in all competitions.

Internationally, De Bruyne has made 99 appearances for Belgium, scoring 26 goals and providing 49 assists.
