Vincent Kompany has revealed that he would be delighted if his "phenomenal" Belgium teammate Kevin De Bruyne joined him at Manchester City.
De Bruyne has been linked with a big-money move to Eastlands after enjoying a fine season with Wolfsburg last term, scoring 16 times and bagging 27 assists.
"Kevin is a phenomenal talent. He's a game-changer, he's efficient in front of goal but he's also a great passer, which is probably his biggest quality," Kompany told Goal.com.
"I try not to influence too much but I do recognise the fact that he's an unbelievable talent and any team he goes to, he will make that team stronger.
"If he comes to City, I would be one of the happiest guys in the team. But it's not my call and it's his decision to make."
The 23-year-old was deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea and was sold to the Bundesliga outfit in January 2014, having initially joined the club on loan the previous August.
