Kevin de Bruyne is important for Man City - Pellegrini

Manuel Pellegrini says club record £55m signing Kevin de Bruyne will be a "very important player" for Manchester City.

The City manager believes he has similar characteristics to Raheem Sterling and thinks "his position is easy to settle in our team".

De Bruyne scored as Belgium came from behind to beat Bosnia-Herzegovina at home in their Euro 2016 qualifier earlier in the week.
