It represents a five-year contract and a three-year extension to his existing deal, which was due to run until 2024.

“It’s hard to put into words how happy I am to have signed this contract, it’s a dream come true,” Foden said.

“I have been a City fan all my life. I’ve trained here for so many years and I’ve even been a ball boy. I love this club so much, so to know I am going to be a part of it until 2027 feels amazing.

“I’ve improved a lot in recent years and so much of that is down to Pep [Guardiola] and his staff, who guide me every single day on the training field.

“Working with them gives me the best chance of improving even more and becoming the best player I can be.”
