Manchester City have been let to rue letting whizkid Jadon Sancho leave for Borussia Dortmund two summers ago, and with the English forward grabbing the headlines since bursting onto the scenes at the beginning of 2018-19, manager Pep Guardiola isn’t looking to repeat the same mistake with another academy product Phil Foden.
The 18-year-old has only made eight league appearances this term, all from the bench, but he has been handed seven starts across the Champions League, League Cup and FA Cup, coming off the bench four other times.
City simply can’t afford to lose Foden given his huge potential, and former Tottenham Hotspur striker Gary Lineker believes the youngster is a part of the frightening talent England have.
