Phil Foden has agreed terms on a new four-year contract with Manchester City, extending his stay at the Etihad until 2030. The 25-year-old's current deal was due to expire next summer, but fresh terms include an option for a further year. The agreement signals mutual commitment between player and club despite Foden's recent struggles in front of goal.

Foden has not scored since 14 December and came off the bench in Monday's thrilling 3-3 draw at Everton. Pep Guardiola's side remain five points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, though they hold a game in hand. The timing of the announcement provides a boost for a player seeking to rediscover his best form.

The midfielder will be hoping to secure a place in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for this summer's World Cup. After a difficult spell, Foden now has clarity over his club future as he pushes for international selection. Manchester City have secured their homegrown talent's long-term commitment despite his recent dip in form.
