In a recent report, Goal.com mentioned that Manchester City winger Phil Foden is set to be offered a new contract. It is understood that the Mancunian giants are planning to tie the English youngster down to a new deal with his current one set to run out in the summer of 2024 (via Goal.com).
Foden’s Sensational Form In English Football Last Season
Foden enjoyed a brilliant season at Manchester recently after he produced a run of productive performances as a key member of Pep Guardiola’s attack. The 21-year-old banged in 16 goals and provided ten assists in 50 matches for the Mancunian outfit in the previous campaign across all fronts.
The Stockport-born playmaker was a consistent performer for Man City in the final third as he averaged 1.6 shots, 1.3 key passes and 1.4 dribbles per 90 minutes in Premier League football. He even distributed possession quite well in the opposition half based on his pass success rate of 88.2% in top-flight football (stats via whoscored).
Foden has taken great strides towards improving his all-around game over the past couple of seasons. Hence, it is no surprise that Man City want to tie him down to a new long-term contract as he could lead them to even more success in the years to come.
Foden Set To Offered A New Contract: Good Move For Both Parties?
Foden is a quick and agile attacker who can complete some eye-catching dribbles in the attacking end of the field. He has added plenty of goals and assists to his game over the past 12 months. The Man City youth product is primarily a left-sided wide player but can even operate as an attacking midfielder or as a box-to-box midfielder if needed.
The nine-time England international is currently amongst the most productive wingers in Premier League football. The future is quite promising for Foden, so Man City can expect to reap the dividends of having him in the coming seasons.
The English prospect has settled into Guardiola’s playing style quite well as he hardly gives away the ball cheaply in the opponent’s half. At 21, Foden has the potential to become one of the best players of his generation and could help Man City maintain their grip on the Premier League title next season.
With all things considered, Man City’s willingness to offer Foden a new contract seems like a good move for both the player and the Mancunian club ahead of what is set to be an exciting campaign in English football.
