David Silva names the youngster who can be his suitable replacement at Manchester City
David Silva has named the teenage team-mate who can replace him at Manchester City after his quit.
The Blues star is preparing to his farewell in the summer after playing 10 years for the club.
Silva will end his career at the age of 34.
Ahead of his quit, the Spanish professional has named the youngster Phil Foden his suitable successor at Etihad. He believes the Citizens are in "good hands" with the teenager.
He told Blues’ official website: "We have players like Phil Foden who is very talented and I think we are in good hands."
Speaking on Silva, Foden has admitted he is looking to take as many creative lessons as possible before the Spaniard leaves Pep Guardiola’s side.
"Every time I put the shirt on, I just enjoy it to the max. I thought we played well, but it killed the game a bit when they went down to 10 men. Fair play to Fulham. They kept going and played really well. I learn every day from David and he’s my idol. It’s just a pleasure to be able to play alongside him," he said.
