Phil Foden scored a second brace in as many games, with Pep Guardiola declaring his forward is nearing his form from last season at Manchester City.
Phil Foden has 'goals in his bones' and is a completely different player to the one who returned to Manchester City at the start of last season.
But since the turn of the year, Foden has five goals and two assists in four games and is smiling again, according to his manager Pep Guardiola. "The biggest quality of Phil is that around the box he has goals in his blood, his bones, in his mind. He thinks 'I’m going to score'. It's not easy to find. That’s why I want to try to put him central positions because he has a specific quality.
With teammate Erling Haaland penning a £247m new contract until 2034, Foden could partner the striker throughout their careers if he stays at the Etihad. He is currently out of contract in 2027 but there is every indication he'll commit his future to the club. And Guardiola, naturally, believes he should.
