Alan Shearer:"The way he(Foden) handles the ball,his body position,his ability to pass it to forwards, he's so comfortable on the ball,the way he receives the ball,he can score goals.I mentioned those two midfielders- Gazza and Scholes-the way Foden glides,his close control.
Gary Lineker:"One of the most exciting talents I have seen in a hell of a long time!!!"
Gary Lineker after watching Phil Foden score:"My oh my ,how good is Phil Foden? Stunning footballer."

Ex EPL midfielder said Jamie O' Hara:"I know people always compare him(Foden) to Gascoigne,but I look at Foden and think he's better than Gascoigne"
Michael Owen:"He(Foden) doesn't even look at the ball a lot of the time,he just runs with it.I was going to mention a name then , Zinedine Zidane was exactly like that."
Pep Guardiola despite coaching players like Messi and Iniesta said "Phil is the most,most talented player I have ever seen in my career as a manager."
Adrian Durham,talkSPORT host said "There have been fantastic players but I go back to the 66' World Cup and Bobby Moore.I think Phil Foden is the best since then and I never thought I'd say this."
Jamie Carragher:"Wherever he is he can probably handle the ball as well as anyone in the England team.England don't really produce players like Foden and that's why he's so exciting."
Graeme Souness:"You see this young fella(Foden), England have some top class midfielders coming through but he's at the top of the tree.Maddison,Grealish, Mount,I think he's arguably the best."
Rio Ferdinand:"I would say Phil Foden is the best young player,on form,in the world right now."
Former PL striker Trevor Francis:"Gascoigne was the most gifted young player I'd ever seen- and I'm feeling the same way about Phil Foden"
Declan Rice:"Even though I'm a West Ham playerI'm always watching other games and people like Phil Foden, he's one,at the moment, who's amazing to watch.The goal the other night that City scored against Gladbach,where he took it on the back foot, dribbled and slipped it... "(1/2)
"...to Gundogan..it was just a breath of fresh air to watch a player do that.The way he ran through,it was just so silky. He's an incredible player."
Gary Neville:"Foden is really exceptional.Even though he's a City player and obviously I'd prefer him not to be wearing a blue shirt- I'd prefer him to be wearing a red shirt!!"
Messi has included Foden in his list of top 15 promising young players and said "He will do amazing things in the game.He has huge talent."
