Phil Foden: 'I learn a lot from Manchester City teammates'

Manchester City youngster Phil Foden has praised his teammates for giving him advice in his breakthrough season with the club.

Foden, who starred in the England Under-17s World Cup success, made his Premier League debut against Tottenham Hotspur, while also featuring in the Champions League and the EFL Cup final.

The 17-year-old told the Manchester Evening News that he is grateful to be learning from the likes of David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne in training.

"When I made my Premier League debut, Kev was giving me a lot of advice," the youngster said. "He came over to me straight away and told me to be confident and enjoy it, and that's what I did.

"To come on against Tottenham and play against Dele Alli and players like that was a dream come true. David [Silva] is just a magician. To watch him every day, and watch what they do, you learn a lot.

"In training they give me a lot of advice. If I turn, they ask about what if I was in a game – they give me a lot of questions to answer."

City face Stoke City in their next Premier League outing on Monday evening.
