Jamie Carragher made use of his opinion column in British newspaper The Telegraph on Friday to heap praise on Phil Foden, the player who has scored 27 goals and provided 12 assists in the 52 games he has played for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City this season.

"I'm not sure England have ever had a player quite like him or of his level. Foden is more akin to the typical Spanish or Portuguese player, his technique marks him out," began the former Liverpool captain and current sports commentator.

"The greatest compliment I can pay him is to say that when I watch Foden and that first touch, control and movement with the ball in tight areas, the first players that spring to mind are Zinédine Zidane and Andrés Iniesta," he continued.

"Foden has the same ability to glide with the ball as if he is slalom skiing, his boots have a magnetic attraction to it," he added, referring to the 23-year-old England international.
