Kevin De Bruyne 'loves everything about' life at Manchester City and is living out his childhood dream, according to the player's father.

The Belgian has starred for the Sky Blues since joining the club from Wolfsburg in 2015, assisting 56 goals and scoring 42 to help the team win seven trophies.

While this season hasn't been as successful as previous campaigns for City and De Bruyne, the player's father Herwig has spoke of how content he is at the club - praising him for taking his game to the top level.

'He loves it,' he told talkSPORT. 'Everything about it, where he lives, the club, the city – he loves Manchester City.'

Herwig said the De Bruyne family were aware of their son's potential, but did not foresee him producing the quality that he has shown for City, pulling the strings in midfield and leading them towards success.

'It's incredible that your son can realise his dream from when he was young and that he can make it, especially in England and in a competition that he loves.

'Off the pitch he is always the quiet one in the back of the group.

'But Kevin on the pitch is at the front of the group and everything is about football.

'We always knew he would play professionally, but we were never sure he was going so high.'

De Bruyne had a difficult start to life in the Premier League as he was an outcast at Chelsea after falling out with Jose Mourinho in 2014, but found a new lease of life in the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg.

In his first full season with the Germans, he scored 15 goals and layed on 25 assists as the team secured the German Cup.

His excellence in midfield was soon rewarded with a £55million move to Manchester City which gave him a chance to prove his quality in the Premier League once more.

He has since played 186 times under Pep Guardiola, with 65 assists and 42 goals as City scooped the Premier League twice, also lifting the FA Cup, three League Cups and a Community Shield.

And the Belgian international isn't done there, according to Herwig, who says the 28-year-old is always hungry for more trophies.

'For him, it is never good enough. He always wants to do better, he will always want to do more and more until he has at the end of his career.'
