The first half of the Bundesliga season saw Wolfsburg's Kevin De Bruyne obliterate opposing backlines with his combination of passing and vision, and it appears as though the second half of the campaign will feature much of the same.

In conversation with the Guardian, De Bruyne's agent, Patrick De Koster, addressed the rumours surrounding the interest his client has generated from top European clubs, indicating the 23-year-old attacking midfielder won't be leaving Volkswagen Arena just yet.

De Bruyne, who moved to Wolfsburg from Chelsea last January for roughly £18 million, is reportedly drawing interest from Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Arsenal.

"There is always going to be interest when things have been going so well but I can tell you Kevin is happy where he is," De Koster said. "After a difficult time at Chelsea he just wanted to be playing regularly. Now that is happening and Kevin is totally focused on helping Wolfsburg to qualify for the Champions League.

"But after that, who knows? England and Spain are both interesting championships or he could decide that another season in Germany is for the best. But could be difficult because Wolfsburg paid a lot of money to sign Kevin and there are only a few clubs who could afford the price they will want."

Not only has De Bruyne launched Wolfsburg to second in the Bundesliga table by producing three goals and 10 assists through 17 appearances, but his 3.5 key passes per game rank second of any player in Europe's top-five leagues.
