Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has praised Phil Foden, comparing him to club greats David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne. Foden has been in excellent form this season, scoring 24 goals and providing 11 assists in 49 appearances. Aguero, who left the club in 2021, expressed his admiration for Foden’s abilities, highlighting his goals, assists, control, and dribbling skills.

Aguero believes Foden’s talent sets him apart, with the 23-year-old midfielder already registering 50 Premier League goals. Aguero described Foden’s skills as “different gravy” and preferred him over Silva and De Bruyne in a hypothetical game. There is speculation that Aguero may return to the Etihad Stadium for the final day of the Premier League season, potentially witnessing Manchester City’s quest for a fourth successive title.

The return of David Silva to Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium last weekend has further fueled nostalgia for the club’s former stars. Silva received a lifetime seasoncard from chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and joined the fans in cheering on City during their 5-1 win over Wolves. The City legends’ continued support and praise for players like Foden highlight the deep connection and admiration among the club’s past and present stars.
