Agbonlahor Compares Phil Foden To De Bruyne

Agbonlahor Compares Phil Foden To De Bruyne

Former Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor has compared England international Phil Foden to his club team-mate Kevin De Bruyne.

Agbonlahor says his compatriot is currently doing things that is expected to come from the Belgium superstar.

Foden is gradually etching his name as one of the best players in Europe and has been getting applauds from fans and pundits.

Just at the age of 21, Foden has already won every trophy in England, including three Premier League titles.

He put up a stunning performance in Manchester City’s last game before the international break where he scored a goal to help Pep Guardiola’s men earn a draw at Anfield. He was also very instrumental when England beat Andorra 5-0 on Saturday.

Agbonlahor has lauded the Manchester City academy graduate and urged Gareth Southgate to start him against Hungary on Tuesday.

“I just love the way he’s a step ahead of everyone else,” the talkSPORT pundit said.

“What I loved about his performance against Andorra was his passing. He’s picking out balls like you’d expect to see from Kevin De Bruyne.

“He’s versatile – we saw him against Liverpool at left midfield, he can play as false No.9, a No.10, on the right.

“He looks like he will play where he’s told to play and not sulk because he wants to play in his preferred position.

“I love him and I think he’s the future of England. “He needs to play every game. Play him against Hungary, find a position for him and keep him in that team.”

Foden has been included in the 30-man shortlist for this year’s Ballon d’Or award.
