Brentford boss Frank: Foden potential Ballon d'Or winner

Brentford boss Thomas Frank is full of praise for Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden.

On Tuesday evening, City host Brentford in the Premier League.

And Foden is praised by opposing manager Frank.

"Phil Foden is a very good player," says the Dane.

"In my opinion, he is the closest England will get to a Ballon d'Or winner in the future. I think he has that potential, that level.

"He affects the game in so many ways. Last game (against us) he scored three goals. He is very good at dribbling, very good at passing people.

"He works very hard. He seems to have a good mentality when it comes to working hard. He is very good."
