Anthony Gordon says Man City have someone who is perfect and‘different’ from anyone else.

Anthony Gordon has highlighted one Manchester City player he thinks is completely unique.

After scoring 11 goals and delivering 10 assists in 35 Premier League appearances for Newcastle United this season, the winger found himself being included in the England squad for the European Championship.

The attacker even managed to score one of those 11 goals against Pep Guardiola’s side during the Manchester club’s 3-2 win over the Magpies at St. James’ Park back in January.

Ahead of the Three Lions’ opening group game of the tournament against Serbia, the 23-year-old shared his thoughts on one of his fellow Premier League stars, who also will be featuring for his country over the next few weeks.

In a recent video shared on the PFA YouTube channel, Gordon was tasked with building his ultimate dream England forward by picking players based on certain attributes they have.

When asked to pick an English forward player with the best left foot, the Newcastle winger had this to say in response.

He said: “I’ll go with Phil [Foden] because I think Phil, technically, is out of this world. He’s different from the rest of us.”

Foden is one of the most technically gifted players in the world
In 270 senior games for his boyhood side, the 24-year-old has found the back of the net 87 times and provided 53 assists in the process.

This isn’t the first time Foden’s technical ability has been praised by one of his England teammates recently, as Ivan Toney named the City star as the most skilful player in the current Three Lions squad.

In addition to that, Guardiola had this to say to The Independent about Foden’s ability on the ball after City’s 1-0 win over Newcastle back in August.

He said: “He has an incredible ability between the lines. The way he turns and attacks the last lines – it is one of the best I have seen. Every control, he knows exactly what is the goal. He doesn’t need two or three touches to get in the right position to attack the goal. In just one touch he is attacking.”

Now that Gordon has shared how unique the City star is in terms of what he can do on the ball, it’s undeniable that Foden is a special talent and one of the most gifted in world football.

Manchester City have identified Girona striker Artem Dovbyk as a future replacement for Erling Haaland at the Etihad Stadium.

Etihad bosses have been making detailed succession plans in a number of areas focussing on long-term Manchester City transfer targets, with City Football Group’s multi-club network aiding the development of potential future players.

The addition of Erling Haaland in 2022 from Borussia Dortmund for £51 million acted as a replacement for all-time top goalscorer Sergio Aguero, however a £175 million release clause could be triggered for the Norwegian striker in the future.

The 23-year-old has scored 90 goals in 98 appearances since arriving at the Etihad Stadium, with Haaland entering the final two years of his current Manchester City deal in 2025, having penned an initial five-year contract until 2027 upon signing for the Sky Blues.

Manchester City aren’t expecting to lose Haaland in the near future, but have reportedly identified Girona forward Artem Dovbyk as a long-term replacement for the Norway international.

Manchester City aren’t expecting to lose Haaland in the near future, but have reportedly identified Girona forward Artem Dovbyk as a long-term replacement for the Norway international.

Dovbyk, who was the top goalscorer in La Liga this term, scored 25 goals and registered 10 assists across three competitions for Manchester City’s sister-club in Spain, as Girona successfully qualified for the UEFA Champions League.

The Ukrainian joined Girona last summer but is in talks to complete a move to Atletico Madrid, who are looking to sign a new striker during the transfer window.
