Comparing Kevin De Bruyne’s Premier League record with Gerrard, Lampard & Scholes

George Priestman • 21 May 2025

Kevin De Bruyne will leave Manchester City at the end of the 2024-25 season – and his Premier League record compares favourably with legends from Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.

De Bruyne arrived from Wolfsburg in 2015 with a point to prove after being let go by Chelsea.

And he went on to achieve untold success, firmly placing himself within the elite group of players to ever play in the Premier League – as well as being arguably the best playmaker we’ve seen.

Spearheading the Pep Guardiola era, he drove the team forward and was key in all of their successes.

He joins the elite group of midfielders in the competition’s history, alongside the very best, including Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes.

And his announcement has triggered discussions in many group chats around the country, as fans will be debating where he lies within that quartet.

While there are many factors, statistics, performances and trophies to consider, we’ve decided to put some of the key figures together for those four players to see how they stack up against one another.
