Tijjani Reijnders insists he's not aiming to replace Kevin De Bruyne at Manchester City despite revealing the Belgian midfielder is one of his idols.

Kevin De Bruyne offered a heartfelt farewell to Manchester City after seeing his move to Serie A giants Napoli confirmed. The Belgium international cut a frustrated figure when he admitted City had opted against offering him a new contract, bringing an end to his decade of service at the Etihad Stadium as part of a major squad overhaul.

De Bruyne announced in April that he would be leaving City at the end of the season after 10 years at the club.
