Philip Walter Foden (born 28 May 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Manchester City and the England national team. Regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in the world, he is known for his pace, ball control and shooting ability.
Foden's breakthrough into professional football came in 2017 when he won the FIFA U-17 World Cup Golden Ball award following England's successful Under-17 World Cup campaign. He made his debut for Manchester City during the same year and in December was named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year.
Foden has since made over 300 appearances for the club, winning seventeen honours, including a continental treble in the 2022–23 season and becoming the youngest recipient of a Premier League winner's medal in 2018. In 2019, he won a second Premier League and became the club's youngest-ever goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League, and is the youngest English player to both start a match and score in the knockout stages of the competition. In 2021 and 2022, he was named as the Premier League Young Player of the Season and the PFA Young Player of the Year. In 2024, Foden was named as the Premier League Player of the Season and the PFA Players' Player of the Year.
Foden represented England at multiple youth levels before making his debut for the senior team in September 2020. He was part of the England teams for UEFA Euro 2020, the 2022 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2024. Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article |
