The club believe Phil Foden can become one of the best players in the world after he signed a contract extension.

The England international has started all nine of City's games this season and has scored three times in his last three games.

Foden has won the PFA Young Player of the Year award for the past two seasons.

The City attacker is likely to start for his side when they take on the Reds.

It is a dream come true for Foden to sign this new deal.

He said that he was happy to have signed the contract.

It's a dream.

I've been a fan of the city for a long time. I've been training here for a long time and I've also been a ballboy. I love this club so much that I'm going to be a part of it for the rest of my life.

"Pep and his staff guide me every single day on the training field and that's why I've improved a lot in the last few years." I can become the best player I can be if I work with them.

I feel like I can learn and win more trophies with the squad we have here. I think those are the two most important things.

Without the people at City, I wouldn't be where I am. Everyone who works behind the scenes, including the Academy coaches, the players I've played with, and the people who work behind the scenes. Being a part of this football club is an honor.

"We are all so proud of Phil and what he has achieved so far, but we know there is more to come", said the director of football.

His hard work, professionalism and dedication make him special. He loves football so much that he wants to improve.

He can progress further and become better than he is now. He can focus on becoming one of the best players in the world now that he has a contract, and we think he can be.
