Will Kevin De Bruyne break Ryan Giggs’ record?

De Bruyne is 51 assists behind Giggs and it all comes down to how much longer he wants to stay at City. The Belgian has one year left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium, and he would have to extend that by at least two years if he is to catch Giggs. It looks unlikely given the uncertainty over his future at City and the club’s reluctance to offer long-term contracts to players over the age of 30. But if De Bruyne wants to make Premier League history, he has a good motive to extend his stay with the club.
