Phil Foden is widely regarded as one of England’s most gifted players. The creative left-footed midfielder allies his eye for a pass with an ability to glide past opponents, something which stood out during his time in Manchester City´s academy, and that nowadays he continues doing.
His form prompted Pep Guardiola to include him in his squad for the Champions League tie against Celtic in December 2016 but didn´t play. In November 2017 when Foden was handed his senior debut against Feyenoord in the Champions League, he become the youngest City player to play in European competition. A month later he become the youngest Englishman to stat in a UCL game, and his Premier League debut was ten days after that.
Since there, Foden started to see more game time, scoring several goals. In 2020 made his debut in the England national team. The creative left-footed midfielder is not a starter, but every time he plays, he makes a difference in the games.
About his potential Guardiola said: “Messi is the best, but at 17 I never coached anyone with Foden’s potential. I didn’t meet Messi at 17 as I have been able to do with Phil and at that age, I have never seen a player with that potential. The things he does, his attitude in big moments, his calmness when he makes a mistake, he forgets it in an instant. His priority is soccer 24 hours a day, and he’s been growing and growing”.
