Foden close to agreeing long-term Man City deal

Manchester City are close to agreeing a new contract with Phil Foden.

The 18-year-old is expected to sign a long-term deal, according to Sky Sports.

With just 18 months running down on his contract, City have been anxious to tie down the talented midfielder.

Foden has made 23 first-team appearances since making his debut against Feyenoord last season.

Manager Pep Guardiola said of Foden earlier this month: "My dream is for him to stay 10 years and if Phil stays for 10 years, he can - in the next decade - play regularly and after [that] I don't know what is going to happen with him."
