Manchester City hero Joleon Lescott says Phil Foden is now maturing into a major influence on the champions.
Foden struck a hat-trick in victory at Brentford on Monday night.
“He's a match winner and I think he's one of the few players that can decide a game on his own," declared Lescott to City's website.
“We see Kevin De Bruyne [can change games] with a pass but there is someone on the end of that pass.
“Whereas with Phil he can go: 'I'm going to take this game by the scruff of the neck' and his individual brilliance will allow him to be man-of-the-match.
“And when you think about his age and the stats that he is accumulating now, I believe he can go to become the most decorated English player of all time.
“At 23 [if City become champions again this season] it would be a sixth Premier League title for him.
“And with [potential] FA Cups, Champions League, League Cups, he could be one of the greatest if not the greatest."
