Foden collected his first winners’ medal after coming off the bench in the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal on Sunday

Manchester City are set to give Phil Foden an improved long-term contract when he turns 18 in May. The midfielder is one of the most highly-rated teenagers in Europe.

The 17-year-old from Stockport has made six first-team appearances since he came to the nation’s attention following his role in England’s Under-17 World Cup win in India last October. He was named player of the tournament after scoring twice in the 5-2 win over Spain in the final.

Pep Guardiola, the City manager, is a big admirer of Foden and gave him his full debut in the Champions League defeat by Shakhtar Donetsk in December. His present deal, which is thought to be worth up to around £20,000 per week including bonuses, is due to expire
