​Man City defender Walker: Foden better youngster than Kane

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has praised youngster Phil Foden.

He believes the central midfielder is an even bigger talent at his age compared to Tottenham star Harry Kane.

Walker came up in the Spurs team with Kane and would know a thing or two about his quality.

"The sky is the limit [for Foden]," Walker told reporters.

"He is the best youngster I have ever seen.

"That is after playing at Tottenham with the likes of Harry Kane, Ryan Mason, Andros Townsend, Steven Caulker, Harry Winks, who are very, very good players.

"Phil is leaps ahead of them for me, just because his knowledge of the game. I don't know if it is because he is constantly watching David Silva and learning from him, or just his knowledge of the game.

"I think if he just improves on his final ball on assisting and his final decision-making on that, I think that comes with experience. As a player and as a human being, he is top class and I wish him all the best in everything that he does because he deserves it all."
