Man City whiz Foden values Silva influence

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden admits he values playing alongside David Silva.

Foden has seen more action for City this season.

"It's a dream," Foden told the Daily Mail. "I've been a City fan from young and I've watched these players growing up as well. To play with them and see what they do every day. To learn off them? It's special. I just enjoy it every day, being there and learning from them.

"David is always giving me advice, it's one little thing. He tells just to know your time on the ball and things like that. He will always help you out. He'll say 'Oh, you could have set the ball there instead of turning'. It's just listening to him. Everyone is good with that; Vincent Kompany is the same.

"I liked to watch Spanish teams at home when I was younger. It's good people make (comparisons) like that. I am my own player. I don't try to copy anyone but I like to learn from people. I loved (Andres) Iniesta and David Silva. I liked Jack Wilshere as well."
