Manchester City are expected to open contract talks next month with Phil Foden and will not loan the midfielder to another club for the 2018-19 season.

Foden, who turned 18 on Monday, is one of the most promising teenage footballers in Europe. He was named player of the tournament at the Under-17 World Cup last October after scoring twice in England’s 5-2 win over Spain in the final. His present deal, said to be worth up to around £20,000 per week including bonuses, expires in 2020.

City expect him to sign a longer contract, which will include a pay rise and will most likely run until 2023. Richard Green, Foden’s agent, will sit down with City officials in the next few weeks and both sides
