We asked for your views on Phil Foden's new four-year deal at Manchester City and where he fits into Pep Guardiola's squad.

Here are some of your comments:

Harry: I'm elated Foden has signed a new deal as I have a soft spot for the lad. As for his position? It's a tricky one. There's questions over his ability to perform Bernardo Silva's role when he leaves and I find he's someone who operates well in pockets. I think having him on the right wing is better for cutting in, and with Antoine Semenyo's recent form I think he deserves some time in his place.

Anton: I really think Foden could be our new Silva, dropping deep to pick up the ball and popping up all over the place.

Mark: Foden very rarely produces the killer pass.

Russ: I'm glad to see there is a measure of certainty for Foden now. Still only 25 after winning pretty much everything you can in the game, and he still has more to give yet. Form is temporary but class is permanent. He's about to mature into one of the squad's senior players and I'm sure he will step up.

Gene: When he's good, he's really good and when he's bad, he's really bad. The talent and vision is there but it seems he's lost his confidence. He continually gets knocked off the ball and is slow to react defensively. He needs to get out of his head and just play.
