Who is Phil Foden?
Phil Foden is aged just 19, but he is already touted as the next 'David Silva' for Man City. The English midfielder has a first touch that would make David Beckham proud and is easy on the eye whenever given a chance to play by Pep Guardiola. Phil Foden is regarded to be David Silva's long-term successor at Man City after the Spaniard departs at the end of the 2019-20 season. Phil Foden was also part of the England national U-17 team that won the FIFA World Cup, which was held in India back in 2017.
