Phil Foden has told Sky Sports that he thinks that Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish is one of the top two young players in the Premier League.

Speaking during Sky’s live Nations League coverage, Foden was asked what it was like to play alongside the Villa man and Mason Mount for England.

And Foden said that he loves it, as he feels that the pair are now the two top young players in the whole of England.

“It’s brilliant, the top two young players in the Premier League and I’m just proud to be a part of it,” Foden said.

Whether Grealish counts as a youngster any more at 25 is very much up for debate, but he certainly is one of the most in-form players in the country right now.

The Villa man has been nothing short of sensational for both club and country this season.

Grealish actually didn’t grab the headlines last night though, as Foden took most of the limelight.

The Manchester City star scored his first two goals for England and claimed an assist as the Three Lions beat Iceland 4-0 yesterday.
