would not force Wolfsburg to sell him, but also said that he could not ignore interest from Manchester City, saying: "If an offer does come, I will hear about it and how much it is, but I have not yet heard anything... I would not go to England just to prove that I can play there. I do not have to go to England... If I go there it's because for me and for my family it is a good choice. That's the key for me." On 10 August, it was reported that Manchester City had made a second bid for De Bruyne worth £47 million. Wolfsburg sporting director, Klaus Allofs, said the club would fight to keep him, saying "I think some other clubs have definitely turned Kevin’s head... Some huge figures are doing the rounds and I can understand why Kevin is leaving everything open." On 27 August, it was reported that City had made a further bid for De Bruyne worth £58 million.

: Assuming the captaincy. On 21 March 2023, De Bruyne was announced as Belgium's new captain, following the international retirement of Eden Hazard.</s><s>Style of play. De Bruyne is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world and he has often been described as a "complete" footballer. Considered to be a versatile and highly talented player in the media, he plays mainly as a central or an attacking midfielder but can also operate in several other positions and has been used as a winger or second striker. He has even been deployed in a deeper creative midfield position and on occasion, a box-to-box role or as a false 9. He is often described by pundits as one of the best and most complete modern day advanced playmakers due to his technique, skill, athleticism, work-rate off the ball, vision, crossing accuracy, wide range of passing, and powerful long-range shooting ability with either foot. Although he is not blessed with significant physical strength, pace, or ability in the air, he is a quick and elegant player on the ball with good dribbling skills, while his positional sense, tactical intelligence, movement, direct style of play and ability to run at defences when in possession also enable him to take advantage of

Kevin De Bruyne

spaces in the opposition's defence and subsequently create chances and goalscoring opportunities for himself or his teammates, making him a dangerous offensive threat on counter-attacks. In addition to his creative abilities, he is also capable of scoring goals by making late runs off the ball from behind into the penalty area and is an accurate set-piece taker. De Bruyne was ranked the fourth-best footballer in the world by "The Guardian" in 2017 and the twelfth-best in 2019. In 2020, his Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola described him as the best midfielder in the world.</s><s>Personal life. De Bruyne's mother is Belgian, born in Burundi and has also lived in the Ivory Coast. Drongen, his hometown, is a sub municipality of the city of Ghent, in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. Aside from his mother tongue Dutch, De Bruyne also speaks French, English, and German. Since 2014, De Bruyne has been in a relationship with Michèle Lacroix. The couple married in June 2017, and have three children together. His autobiography, titled "Keep It Simple", was published by Borgerhoff & Lamberigts in October 2014, following an incident between De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne

and his compatriot Thibaut Courtois, in which De Bruyne's then-girlfriend left him for Courtois. De Bruyne wrote in his autobiography, "Although I still can not believe what Courtois has done, we continue to work together professionally." De Bruyne was an ambassador for the 2014 Special Olympics, which took place in Antwerp, and was involved in a controversial advertisement campaign, via his personal Instagram account. Employing the slogan (in Dutch): "Would you still be my fan if I looked like this?", De Bruyne was depicted resembling a person with Down syndrome.</s><s>Career statistics.</s><s>Career statistics.:International.</s><s>Honours.

Gemma Arterton

<s>Gemma Arterton Gemma Christina Arterton (born 2 February 1986) is an English actress and producer. After her stage debut in Shakespeare's "Love's Labour's Lost" at the Globe Theatre (2007), Arterton made her feature film debut in the comedy "St Trinian's" (2007). She portrayed Bond Girl Strawberry Fields in the James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" (2008), a performance which won her an Empire Award for Best Newcomer. Arterton has since appeared in a number of films, including "The Disappearance of Alice Creed" (2009), "Tamara Drewe" (2010), "Clash of the Titans" (2010), "" (2010), "" (2013), "Their Finest" (2016), "The Escape" (2017), and "Vita and Virginia" (2018).

Her theatrical highlights have included starring in "The Duchess of Malfi" (2014), "Made in Dagenham" (2014), "Nell Gwynn" (2016) and "Saint Joan" (2017). Arterton was nominated for Olivier Awards for her work on

Gemma Arterton

both "Nell Gwynn" and "Made in Dagenham", and she won the Evening Standard Theatre Award for the latter. Since 2016, Arterton has run her own production company, Rebel Park Productions, which focuses on creating female-led content in front of and behind the camera. She has executive-produced four feature films and two short films. She is also on record as being a supporter of the Time's Up, ERA 50:50 and MeToo movements. Arterton played an integral role in persuading actresses to wear black at the 2018 BAFTAs in support of Time'sUp, and has been involved with ERA 50:50, an equal pay campaign in the UK, since its inception.</s><s>Early life and education. Arterton was born at North Kent Hospital in Gravesend with polydactyly, a condition resulting in extra fingers which a doctor removed shortly after her birth. Her mother, Sally-Anne Heap, runs a cleaning business, and her father, Barry J. Arterton, is a welder. They divorced during Arterton's early childhood, and she grew up on a council estate with her mother and younger sister, Hannah Arterton, who is also an actress. Her

Gemma Arterton

matrilineal great-grandmother was a German-Jewish concert violinist. Arterton attended Gravesend Grammar School for Girls, a state grammar school in Kent (now Mayfield Grammar School) and made her amateur stage debut in a production of Alan Ayckbourn's "The Boy Who Fell into a Book". Her performance won her the best actress prize in a competition at a local festival. At age 16, Arterton left Gravesend Grammar School to attend acting college at the Miskin Theatre at North Kent College in Dartford. She later studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), graduating in 2008.</s><s>Career. Arterton had her first professional role in Stephen Poliakoff's "Capturing Mary" while she was still at drama school. She made her stage debut as Rosaline in Shakespeare's "Love's Labour's Lost" at the Globe Theatre in London in July 2007 before graduating later that year. She made her film debut in "St Trinian's" (2007) as Head Girl Kelly. In 2008, she appeared in the James Bond film "Quantum of Solace". Chosen from around fifteen hundred candidates, Arterton plays Bond Girl Strawberry Fields, in what is described

Gemma Arterton

as a "nice-sized role". Arterton describes her character as "the thinking man's crumpet". In the same year, she played the eponymous protagonist in the BBC adaptation of Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the d'Urbervilles". Also in 2008, she played Elizabeth Bennet in the ITV serial, "Lost in Austen". Her most controversial role to date was in the 2009 film "The Disappearance of Alice Creed", in which her character is kidnapped and abused in several graphic nude scenes. The role required her to be handcuffed to a bed and wear a ball gag in her mouth throughout. She requested that she be left tied to the bed even when the camera was not on her to help her performance. She joked that the crew would put the ball gag back in if she was chatting too much. The film was well received, with Frank Scheck for "The Hollywood Reporter" noting, "Arterton… handles the rigorous physical and emotional demands of her role with great skill". Arterton was the face of Avon's Bond Girl 007 fragrance, when it was launched in October 2008. In 2010, Arterton made her West End debut in the UK premiere of "The Little Dog Laughed". She was

Gemma Arterton

originally attached to star in a new adaptation of "Wuthering Heights" as Catherine Earnshaw; however, she later left the project. Arterton appeared in pivotal roles in the 2010 films "Clash of the Titans" and "", and played the lead in "Tamara Drewe". In 2010 Arterton also starred in the Almeida Theatre's production of "The Master Builder" directed by Travis Preston, where she was widely praised for her performance as Hilde Wangel. In 2011, Arterton was nominated for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Rising Star Award and was under consideration for Leading Actress for her performances in "Tamara Drewe" and "The Disappearance of Alice Creed". In November 2012, she was selected as a member of the main competition jury at the 2012 International Film Festival of Marrakech. Arterton starred in the action horror film "" as Gretel, opposite Jeremy Renner who played Hansel. The 3-D film was set 15 years after Hansel and Gretel killed the witch who kidnapped them. It was released on 25 January 2013. In January 2014, she took the title role in John Webster's "The Duchess of Malfi", the inaugural production at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse

Gemma Arterton

, the new indoor theatre at Shakespeare's Globe. Both the play and Arterton herself received positive reviews, with Paul Taylor for "The Independent" reporting. "The luminous Gemma Arterton beautifully captures the multi-faceted quality of the Duchess". In the same year, she starred with Ryan Reynolds, Anna Kendrick and Jacki Weaver in the psychological thriller film, "The Voices". In 2015, Arterton starred as the titular lead in "Gemma Bovery""." The film is a re-imagining of Gustave Flaubert's 19th century classic "Madame Bovary" directed by Anne Fontaine. Arterton learnt to speak French for the role, never having spoken the language previously. In 2014–2015, Arterton starred in "Made in Dagenham", a stage musical about the Ford sewing machinists strike of 1968 concerning equal pay for women. Since its premiere on 5 November 2014 at the Adelphi Theatre in London, she has publicly expressed her support for their cause. She played a fictional character named Rita O'Grady and her performance received mixed reviews from critics. Simon Edge, for the "Daily Express", complained of an "underpowered central performance from Gemma Arter

Gemma Arterton

ton as Rita". However, Matt Trueman for "Variety" praised Arterton for her "all-out star turn" and Paul Taylor, for "The Independent", praised how "Arterton holds the show together beautifully". Despite the show closing after only five months, Arterton was nevertheless nominated for an Olivier Award for best actress in a musical, and went on to win the Evening Standard award for Newcomer in a Musical. In a 2015 interview with the "Independent" newspaper, Arterton stated that she was the director Jonathan Glazer's choice for the lead role in his movie "Under the Skin".
