Paul Gascoigne responds to Noel Gallagher's claim about Phil Foden on talkSPORT

Paul Gascoigne has played down Noel Gallagher's claims that Phil Foden will overtake the England legend within the next five years.

Foden has enjoyed the best season of his career to date, having scooped the Premier League Player of the Year award.

However, the Oasis star and Manchester City fan Gallagher told talkSPORT who believes Foden will surpass the former Newcastle and Tottenham midfielder and prove to be the better player of the two.

“I think it's more dynamic, I think it's faster and I think I'll eventually be right,” Gallagher said of the city ​​of manchester star.

“There may not be much between them now, but in five years, Phil Foden “He will be three times more of a player than Gascoigne.”

After hearing about Gallagher's prediction, Gazza took to social media to respond to the musician and even found time to make a cheeky comment.

“Noel, control, you want to move forward,” Gascoigne said in a video posted on X.

He continued: “Foden, an incredible player but not a Gazza. Don't pressure the boy. Anyway, Liam Gallagher is twice the singer you'll ever be. Get a grip now!
