Barcelona and Spain wonderkid Lamine Yamal says Premier League star is the one player he would love to play alongside

Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal did not hesitate when asked to name the player he would most like to play with one day.

Yamal solidified his reputation as one of the best young players in the world with his performances at Euro 2024, helping the Spanish side go all the way.

De Bruyne, widely regarded as one of the best midfielders of his generation, is entering the twilight of his career with Man City.

He has won everything with the Citizens while featuring in the FIFA FIFPRO World XI four times.

City fans took to social media after hearing his comments, fantasizing about the prospect of Yamal and De Bruyne feeding hitman Erling Haaland.

However, he stayed put and City have begun their season with three win from three matches. 

Yamal and Barcelona have made an equally fine start to the new campaign, winning all four of their LaLiga matches.
