Alan Shearer:"The way he(Foden) handles the ball,his body position,his ability to pass it to forwards, he& #39;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& #39; Hara:"I know people always compare him(Foden) to Gascoigne,but I look at Foden and think he& #39;s better than Gascoigne"
Michael Owen:"He(Foden) doesn& #39;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& #39; World Cup and Bobby Moore.I think Phil Foden is the best since then and I never thought I& #39;d say this."
Jamie Carragher:"Wherever he is he can probably handle the ball as well as anyone in the England team.England don& #39;t really produce players like Foden and that& #39;s why he& #39;s so exciting."
Graeme Souness:"You see this young fella(Foden), England have some top class midfielders coming through but he& #39;s at the top of the tree.Maddison,Grealish, Mount,I think he& #39;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& #39;d ever seen- and I& #39;m feeling the same way about Phil Foden"
Declan Rice:"Even though I& #39;m a West Ham playerI& #39;m always watching other games and people like Phil Foden, he& #39;s one,at the moment, who& #39;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& #39;s an incredible player."
Gary Neville:"Foden is really exceptional.Even though he& #39;s a City player and obviously I& #39;d prefer him not to be wearing a blue shirt- I& #39;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."
