According to Tom Cairney, Phil Foden has emerged as the standout player in the Premier League this season. Cairney’s praise adds to the growing chorus of admirers for the Manchester City midfielder, including Ally McCoist and Shaka Hislop, who have also lauded Foden’s performances.
Foden’s rise to prominence started in the 2020/2021 season, and his current form has elevated his status even further. Former player Chris Sutton, who initially suggested a loan move for Foden, now acknowledges his mistake and recognizes Foden’s talent and impact on the Manchester City team.
Cairney specifically highlighted Foden’s exceptional display in the Manchester Derby as evidence of his brilliance throughout the 2023/2024 campaign. The midfielder’s skill, creativity, and goal threat have made him a standout performer in the league.
The Fulham captain’s endorsement of Foden could have implications for the PFA Player of The Year award. Last season, Erling Haaland claimed the accolade, but this year, Foden and Rodri are likely contenders from City’s squad. Cairney’s opinion as a fellow Premier League player could influence voting and support for Foden’s candidacy.
With Foden’s exceptional form towards the end of the season and endorsements from fellow professionals like Cairney, his chances of securing individual awards have received a significant boost. As the season progresses, Foden’s impact and influence on games continue to solidify his position as one of the best players in the league.
