English Premier League giants Manchester City have announced the contract extension of their golden boy Phil Foden.
Phil Foden entered Manchester City’s youth setup at a very young age. He performed extremely well in age group tournaments which earned him a place in England’s junior teams.
Foden seized this opportunity with both hands and was given the chance to represent England at the FIFA U-17 World Cup. The youngster played brilliant football in the tournament and won the Ballon d’Or award. Meanwhile, England lifted the U-17 World Cup. This served as a breakthrough for him.
Just after the end of the World Cup, Foden was promoted to the main team and little by little the young man became one of the key players for Pep Guardiola’s team. Foden has already won thirteen major trophies for Manchester City, including four Premier League titles.
