Kevin de Bruyne has agreed upon a contract extension with Manchester City that will keep him with the club through 2023.

De Bruyne joined City from Wolfsburg in 2015 for £54 million.

"I am really happy to have signed this new deal," De Bruyne said. "As I've said previously, my intention has always been to stay here at City, where I've felt at home from day one.

"Not only are we winning -- we are playing great football. It's a pleasure to be a part of and I'm really excited about what we can achieve in the coming years.

"It was pretty easy [the decision to stay]. Obviously you hear a lot of people talk about other clubs but I think at the moment we are one of the best clubs in the world. The way this club is working as a whole unit is unbelievable. I've never witnessed it in other clubs before like that.

"The project is very good, with a lot of young players coming through so I'm happy to also build with this team."
