According to Alan Shearer, Manchester City currently possess the most tricky athlete in Europe!

Alan Shearer has identified a Manchester City player as one of the most skilled athletes in Europe.

The forthcoming European Championship in Germany is expected to feature a number of City players, following the team’s sixth Premier League title in seven years at the conclusion of their most recent campaign under Pep Guardiola.

One former England player and pundit has identified a unique quality that he believes is possessed by a particular City player that surpasses that of any other player in Europe, as they anticipate the summer tournament.

Prior to the forthcoming tournament in Germany, Shearer was requested to construct his ideal Euros player in a video that was recently uploaded to Goal’s official TikTok channel.

To achieve this, the former England striker was requested to select specific players who he believes possess the finest right foot, left foot, speed, strength, skills, and football IQ in Europe at the present time.

The pundit selected Phil Foden as the player with the most technical ability and talents when he was asked to do so.

Foden is one of the most exceptional technical performers in the world.
In 270 senior appearances for the Manchester club, the 24-year-old has contributed 53 assists and tallied 87 goals in all competitions.

Foden earned the second-highest number of carries into the penalty area (56) and successful take-ons (47) in the City squad during his most recent top-flight campaign, which resulted in him being named the Premier League Player of the Season.

One of his assets on the field, according to WhoScored, is his capacity to retain the ball, which demonstrates the strength of his technical ability.

Guardiola expressed his admiration for Foden’s ball-handling skills in September by stating the following.

He stated, “He does not need to enhance his skills with the ball.” He possesses specific qualities when he is playing indoors. It is challenging to locate his initial control and dynamic, as well as his approach to the final line, on a global scale.

“He is aware of the objective for each control he implements.” He is always a threat, as he is aware of when he receives the ball, whether it is to the right or left, and he understands how to attack without requiring two or three touches.

Given all of the aforementioned, it should be no surprise to any City supporter that Shearer selected Foden for possessing the most technical ability and talents in Europe.
