Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola name-checked Borussia Dortmund whiz Jadon Sancho when welcoming Phil Foden's new deal.

Having seen Sancho leave for Dortmund and with Brahim Diaz unlikely to remain at the club, keeping Foden is a reassuring sign for the academy and the club as they look to show they can bring young players through.

"My statement is that I'm delighted, I'm happy," he said. "It would be our desire for Jadon, Brahim to stay here, that was our wish.

"With Phil we convinced him because we believe he has something unique, he's a special player, like Jadon and Brahim. Now keep going.

"We will help him be a better player and he will help us be a better team. He's an incredible fighter and he's a City fan. We saw his mum and dad, they are happy as well.

"It's a perfect deal. Congratulations to him and the club."
