The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has shone in a variety of positions for City this season. At different times Foden has been deployed out wide on either wing, behind the striker or further upfront.
And speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday night’s Champions League Group C fixture against Marseille, the City manager said Foden’s adaptability was a huge bonus for him.

“Yeah, it’s so good. Now in this moment I see him playing upfront because of his dynamic sense of goal and he helps us with first pressure,” Guardiola declared.
“When he is 24, 25 I think he will be able to play more defensive positions.
“Now he can play both wingers, behind strikers and as a striker.
“As a manager, having a player like this who can play several positions is fundamental.”
