Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has described Phil Foden as fundamental to his squad.
The dynamic diminutive playmaker has stepped up this season after the departure of David Silva.
“Yeah, it’s so good. Now in this moment I see him playing upfront because of his dynamic sense of goal and he helps us with first pressure,” Guardiola declared.
“When he is 24, 25 I think he will be able to play more defensive positions.
“Now he can play both wingers, behind strikers and as a striker.
“As a manager, having a player like this who can play several positions is fundamental.”
