Pep Guardiola lavishes more praise on Manchester City starlet Phil Foden and insists he had 'never seen a player with this potential' when wonderkid caught the eye aged just 17 - but admits 'the best is Messi, first'

Pep Guardiola has once again lavished praise on Manchester City wonderkid Phil Foden and admitted his limitless potential was evident aged just 17.

Foden has enjoyed a superb season at City, helping them win the Premier League, the Carabao Cup and also reach the Champions League final, and, at just 20 years of age, is also set to play at Euro 2020 with England.

His rapid rise through the ranks and into the first-team has propelled him into stardom, and Rio Ferdinand chose to ask City boss Guardiola about the prodigy during their interview this week.
