Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure was delighted for Phil Foden after his debut in last night's Champions League win at Feyenoord.
Toure believes Foden is at the right Club to become a top-class player.
“If he stays in this club, he is going to be one of the top players because it's always good to learn from and be close to the big players," Toure said.
“When I was at Barcelona, I learned a lot. I was lucky enough to have a chance to win trophies because of the players around me.
“It's fantastic for him and he's going to be the future.
“He's very important. The team keeps changing and the club are moving forward, so it's very important [to bring players through].
“I hope, and I think, he will stay for a long time.
“Sometimes you have great players coming because Man City is such a strong team - a powerful club who can buy players - but I think he must stay here and learn from the big players, like [David] Silva, Kevin [De Bruyne], [Ilkay] Gundogan, Fernandinho – all those players are going to give him more experience and confidence for the rest of his career.
“I hope we will see a great player in the future."
