Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne beats Eden Hazard to be named the best Belgian player in a foreign league for the second year running.

Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has been named the 'best Belgian player in a foreign league' ahead of international teammate Eden Hazard.

Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco finished third, while Toby Alderweireld, Romelu Lukaku, Thibaut Courtois, Michy Batshuayi and Mousa Dembele also made the top 10.

Having collected the award from Belgium assistant coach Thierry Henry, De Bruyne remarked: "I'm just trying to do my thing."
