Jamie Redknapp and Darren Bent have insisted Phil Foden is 'the real deal' following his starring role against Aston Villa as Pep Guardiola said the Manchester City star is becoming 'a serious player'.
Foden helped the Premier League leaders overcome an early deficit by scoring and playing a role in City's second to help Guardiola's side move a step closer to the league title.
The 20-year-old has emerged as the go-to man at City in recent weeks, with the youngster scoring in both legs against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League and turning in standout performances when needed.
