As quoted by the club’s official website, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has hailed Phil Foden as the “most talented player” he has ever seen at his age.
What did he say?
Widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in English football, Foden has enjoyed a meteoric rise with the Premier League champions since making his debut for the club in the 2017/2018 season.
The 19-year-old enjoyed somewhat of a breakthrough campaign last year, and scored his first Premier League goal when he netted the winner against Tottenham in April.
Now, speaking before the Citizens’ pre-season clash against Yokohama, Guardiola delivered glowing praise of the starlet.

He said: “I said many times in press conferences, but maybe not in front of him. He is the most talented player I have ever seen (for his age).
“His problem is sometimes his manager doesn’t put him in the starting XI. He deserves all the minutes but with his competitors it isn’t easy. He works incredibly. He knows I’m here to help him and I am pretty sure we will get it.”
Destined for the top
Now that’s what you call some high praise. To be getting first-team opportunities for a side containing the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Bernardo Silva, amongst others, is an achievement in itself.

The England U21 international has incredible poise and technique and as Guardiola himself suggested earlier this year, is an “exceptional player” already. Despite the Citizens contending for trophies on all fronts, Guardiola seemingly had enough trust in his abilities to hand him 26 appearances across all competitions.
As he continues to learn and progress under his Spanish manager’s tutelage, there can be no doubting that Foden will fancy his chances of eventually taking over from the likes of De Bruyne and Silva to become City’s attacking lynchpin.
