Phil Foden says there's only one player at Manchester City who has a more precise touch than him

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is widely celebrated for possessing one of the best first touches in football, frequently showcasing this skill during matches to impress fans and observers. Erling Haaland has specifically praised Foden's touch, stating he would score more goals if he had it and calling it "unreal," alongside Kevin De Bruyne's passing.

However, Foden has now identified a teammate with an even better first touch. During a Sports Direct TikTok challenge where he had to remain silent until hearing the name of a superior player, Foden stayed quiet as names like Ederson, John Stones, Ruben Dias, Rico Lewis, Josko Gvardiol, Jeremy Doku, Kevin De Bruyne, and Jack Grealish (where he shook his hand indicating 'maybe') were mentioned. He immediately responded "Yep" when Bernardo Silva's name was called.

On a related note, Bernardo Silva, who captained City at the Club World Cup, addressed his future amidst uncertainty last season and with his contract expiring in 2026. Silva confirmed his intention to stay at Manchester City for the upcoming season, stating, "This season will for sure be with Man City. I’m going to stay." He acknowledged having options in the past and present but chose to remain. However, he declined to elaborate on his long-term future beyond this season, saying, "I know what I’m going to do but it’s not the time to talk about that."
