Phil Foden a Manchester City and England gem
In my view, Phil Foden is one of the best young players in the world and is a star for Manchester City and England.
Foden is only 23 now, but it looks like he has been on our TV screens for years.
The youngster has established himself as an important player in manager Pep Guardiola’s team over the years and is also a regular in the England squad.
Foden has made 137 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The midfielder has scored 36 goals and given 21 assists in those games.
The 23-year-old has also made 28 appearances for England.
Foden has scored four goals in those games.
