Rio Ferdinand names the Man City star who should be inducted into Premier League Hall of Fame

Rio Ferdinand has named Kevin De Bruyne as the current Premier League player who should be inducted into the league's Hall of Fame.

The Manchester United legend was inducted on Wednesday. Two more players will be announced later in the day to join the likes of Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes, Peter Schmeichel, David Beckham and Eric Cantona. Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger recently became the first managers to be included since the awards were launched in 2021.

There are 15 nominees for the 2023 shortlist, made of Premier League icons who have all finished their careers. In a Q&A session, Ferdinand picked Manchester City star De Bruyne as his number one choice out of those still playing today, considering his trophy haul and individual honours.
