PHIL FODEN will be presented with a lucrative long-term contract by Manchester City when he turns 18 on May 28.
The shining light of England’s Under-17 World Cup win last year is a boyhood City fan and wants to make it big at the Etihad.
He came on as a late substitute in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final win over Arsenal and boss Pep Guardiola views him as part of his first-team squad already.
That was Foden’s sixth appearance of a season which has seen his miss large chunks due to international commitments and an ankle injury.
The Stockport-born midfielder is in line for a new five-year deal that would see him at least double his current £20,000-a-week salary.
Foden made his City debut in the Champions League victory over Feyenoord in November.
