Phil Foden Bio

Phil Foden (Philip Walter Foden) is a British professional football player. Currently, he plays for English Premier Club Manchester City as a central midfielder. In addition, he is also a member of the U17 England World Cup team which was held in India. Furthermore, he has also scored a goal in the U17 World Cup final against Spain.

Phil was born in Stockport, United Kingdom. From the beginning of his childhood, he had a keen interest in football. The 17-year-old talented midfielder has joined Manchester City academy at the young age of seven. Since then, he is in the Manchester City team. Talking about his education and family, there is not any information regarding his educational and family background.

Born in Stockport, Greater Manchester and a boyhood supporter of Manchester City, he joined at the age of eight and signed his Academy scholarship in July 2016. He was privately educated at St Bede’s College, with his tuition fees being paid for by Manchester City. On 6 December 2016, City head coach Pep Guardiola included Foden in the matchday squad for the Champions League group stage match with Celtic; he was an unused substitute in the 1–1 home draw.

In July 2017, Foden was included in Manchester City’s squad for the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, where he performed impressively in a 0–2 loss to Manchester United and also started in a 4–1 win over Real Madrid. Guardiola stated after the Manchester United match: “It’s a long time since I saw something like this. His performance was another level. He’s 17-years-old, he’s a City player, he grew up in the academy, he loves the club, he’s a City fan and for us, he’s a gift.”

After making several appearances on the bench at the start of the 2017–18 season, Foden made his Manchester City debut on 21 November 2017 in a Champions League game against Feyenoord, coming on in the 75th minute for Yaya Touré. He became the fourth-youngest English player to make an appearance in the Champions League (17 years 177 days).

On 6 December 2017, Foden broke the record previously held by Josh McEachran to become the youngest English player, at the age of 17 years and 192 days, to start in a UEFA Champions League match, doing so in a 2–1 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk. He also became the first player born in the year 2000 to start a match in the competition. He made his Premier League debut as a substitute in a 4–1 win against Tottenham Hotspur on 16 December 2017, appearing at the 83rd minute for İlkay Gündoğan.

Phil Foden Net Worth | Phil Foden Salary

He has signed his first big contract with the Citizens in December 2018. Manager Pep Guardiola really likes this kid. This also means that he is getting a significant pay-raise. He is currently worth about 1.7 Million Euro (1.5 Million Pound). His market value is on the rise. He is one of the finest prospects of English youth-football and we think that he is currently worth about 14 Million Euro (12.5 Million Pound).

Phil Foden and Pep Guardiola

Pep is operating on a narrow bandwidth, veering from calling Foden the “most talented player” he has ever seen to putting that unhelpful price-tag on his head. You have to wonder what all these statements are doing to a kid who only turned 19 in May. Confused? He’s entitled to be. Usually, it is the media who are accused of puffing up players with lazy or inaccurate assessments.

Foden is clearly gifted but the talent bar at Manchester City has been raised to exceptionally high levels. Even so, Pep has made the jigsaw fit before. When promoted to coach Barcelona’s first team, he inherited the blessed talents of Lionel Messi. Although the Barca star had been given his head by Frank Rijkaard, Guardiola is often credited for the Argentine’s rapid development.

He stretched his brain, with Messi mastering his art by the time they won the Champions League under Guardiola in 2009 and 2011. Guardiola instantly took to the playmaker. He encouraged and nurtured him, giving Messi the platform to eventually emulate, then overtake Ronaldinho.

It can be done. If Pep really rates Foden, a product of City’s academy, the forward should be getting more than a taster. He sent him on 60 seconds before extra-time in the Community Shield and he scored in their shootout win over Liverpool at Wembley. There were ten minutes at West Ham the following week in the Premier League when City had already established a four-goal lead.

He got a full 90 under his belt at Preston in the Carabao Cup but was benched again for the 2-0 Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb. Foden was given a minute, which turned out to be enough time for him to score their second of the night.

Phil Foden Vs Tottenham Hotspurs | Phil Foden Goal

In City’s 1-0 defeat of Tottenham, Foden had featured in 11 of City’s opening 34 league outings, with just one appearance coming from a start. Guardiola has utilized Foden as an impact substitute in the dying moments of games this campaign and six of Foden’s previous ten outings from the bench have come in the final ten minutes. Foden had not played in City’s midweek Champions League encounter with Tottenham and therefore the Stockport lad was fresh and primed for revenge.

His inclusion in the starting line up against Tottenham at the weekend promised excitement and Foden didn’t disappoint, within five minutes heading home at the back post to give City a 1-0 lead. It was his seventh goal for his boyhood club and it also meant he became the first player born in the 2000s to score a top-flight goal for City. And being one of the world’s youngest stars comes with intense scrutiny and pressure, and often for young Englishmen in the past, it has hampered their development and potential. But Foden has revealed he has an unusual hobby that helps him to relax and deal with the pressure in his spare time.

Foden featured as a late substitute for Sergio Agüero in the EFL Cup Final on 25 February 2018, helping City secure a 3–0 victory against Arsenal at Wembley Stadium. The following month, he broke Kieron Richardson’s record to become the youngest English player to start in a knockout-match in the Champions League, doing so at the age of 17 years and 283 days in a 4–0 win over Basel. On 13 May, he became the youngest ever player to receive a Premier League winners’ medal.

Foden was part of the City’s starting line-up for the FA Community Shield on 5 August 2018, playing a total of 75 minutes as well as assisting Agüero’s first goal of the game in a 2–0 victory over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium, marking Foden’s third winners’ medal of the calendar year. On 25 September 2018, he provided an assist to Riyad Mahrez and later scored his first senior goal in injury time to secure City a 3–0 away win against Oxford United in the third round of the EFL Cup.

Foden scored his first home goal at the Etihad Stadium, netting the second for City during their 7–0 victory against Rotherham United in the third round of the FA Cup on 6 January 2019. Three days later, Foden was again on the scoresheet as he helped City defeat Burton Albion 9–0 in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals. On 12 March 2019, Foden scored his first Champions League goal during the second leg of the last-16 tie against Schalke, as City won 7-0 (10-2 on aggregate). In doing so, he helped the club equal the record for the largest winning margin in the knockout phase of the competition.

His goal also saw him become Man City’s youngest-ever goalscorer in the Champions League and the youngest English goalscorer to score in the knock-out stages of the competition, aged 18 years and 288 days. At the start of the following month, he made his first league start for the club in a 2–0 win over Cardiff City, becoming the youngest English player to do so since Daniel Sturridge in 2008. After the match, City manager Pep Guardiola told media that he expected Foden to be an important Manchester City player “for the next decade”.

Foden scored his first Premier League goal on 20 April 2019, with the only goal in a 1–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Upon doing so, he became the third-youngest player to score for the club in the Premier League, after Micah Richards and Sturridge.
