Phil Foden has been described as a 'serious player', 'the real deal' and 'magical' by Pep Guardiola, Jamie Redknapp and Micah Richards over the past week.
And with his recent performances, few would disagree that the 20-year-old has emerged as Manchester City's most exciting attacking threat in recent weeks.
Only Kevin De Bruyne has more goal involvements in all competitions for City this season than Foden's 23, including 14 goals and nine assists.
He was the best of a bad bunch after replacing the injured Belgian at Wembley in their 1-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat by Chelsea, before contributing to both goals in the midweek Premier League victory at Aston Villa.
