Manchester City star Joao Cancelo believes his team-mate Phil Foden has the potential to become one of the best players in world football.
The Portuguese full-back was speaking to Manchester City’s in-house media team following the announcement he has signed a new deal at the club which runs through until 2027.
Cancelo spoke about a wide range of topics and revealed his admiration for Foden and the rest of his City team-mates.
“Phil Foden is going to be one of the best players in the world, if not the best,” he said.
Ever since his rise from the City Football Academy, Phil Foden has been touted for the very top after breaking through the ranks to become a regular in Pep Guardiola’s starting XI.
The England international has scored 38 goals and provided 28 assists since his breakthrough into the first team.
These Cancelo’s comments on Foden was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

He certainly has the ability to but he needs to look at Dele Ali and see how quickly it can be taken away if you take your eye off the ball . I worry about @PhilFoden and I’m sure I am not the only one
