Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo has declared Phil Foden can become the best player in the world.

Cancelo, 27, put pen to paper on a new five-and-a-half-year contract at the Etihad on Tuesday, a reward for the fine run of form he has enjoyed so far this season.

"In this club, I'm always confident to succeed. We have a lot of players with bright futures," he said.

"Phil Foden is going to be one of the best players in the world, if not the best.

"The atmosphere around the first team is fabulous and I think that is one of the key factors that made us win so many trophies lately."
