Jeremie Frimpong, a former Manchester City youth player who now plays for Bayer Leverkusen, shared his thoughts on current City star Phil Foden, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, and Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior in a recent video. Frimpong said that he would start Vinicius, bench Foden, and sell Saka if given the choice. Despite not making any senior appearances for City, Frimpong believes that Foden’s experience and performance on the field make him a better choice than Saka.

Foden and Saka have both played significant roles for their respective teams in the Premier League this season. Foden has scored more goals than Saka, has more shots on target, and a higher percentage of successful take-ons. Both players have been instrumental in their teams’ success in the league, with City and Arsenal both in contention for the title. Frimpong’s preference for Foden over Saka suggests that he values Foden’s overall effectiveness on the field.

Frimpong’s comments highlight the difference in perception and preference between Foden and Saka among players and fans. While Saka has been a key player for Arsenal, Foden’s experience and performance at City make him a preferred choice for some, like Frimpong. Both players have the potential to continue making an impact in the league and for their respective teams in the future.
