Phil Foden has been one of Manchester City’s biggest stars in recent years.
Having emerged through the club’s youth ranks, the 24-year-old has racked up 270 senior appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side in all competitions.
In his previous season with City, the midfielder ended up being named the Premier League Player of the Season after scoring 19 goals and delivering eight assists in 35 appearances, ultimately helping his side with their sixth league trophy in seven years.
After that impressive campaign, Foden ended up being one of the three City players picked to represent England in the 2024 European Championship.
With the group stage of the tournament now over, one of Foden’s international teammates has shared his verdict on the City star, using just one word to sum him up as a player.
Ollie Watkins uses just one word to describe Phil Foden
In a recent video shared on the England TikTok channel, numerous figures in the Three Lions squad were asked to describe some of their international teammates in just one word.
When asked to sum up Foden, Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins used the word “silky” to describe the midfielder.
Foden’s technical ability makes him a special player
This isn’t the first time one of Foden’s England teammates used a similar word to the one Watkins has now to sum up the City star, as Declan Rice said earlier this month that the midfielder is the definition of “elegance” on the pitch.
Having started all three group games for the Three Lions, the midfielder has the joint-second-highest total of shot-creating actions (7) and carries into the final third of the pitch (6) in the England squad.
Now that Watkins has described how effortless Foden is on the ball, this should further increase his status as one of the best technical players in world football right now.
