MANCHESTER CITY star Phil Foden has got fans talking with a new neck tattoo.

The tattoo, located behind Foden's left ear, reads: "Sky is the limit."

It is all in capital letters so is quite lengthy, starting at his ear and ending up at the bottom of his neck.

But it has proved to be quite controversial with fans on Twitter critical of the England star's new body art.

One wrote: "Goodness me, that’s horrendous."

Another added: "That's the worst tattoo ever."

And a third said: "That's tragic."

One fan was fond of the tattoo but could not resist a sly dig: "Nice tattoo just don't go blonde again."

Foden and his family were harrassed and attacked at the Khan vs Brook fight last week.

Police have launched an investigation into the incident with Foden branded a c*** by one of the thugs while his mum was punched.

Manchester City condemned the culprits and said they would support the winger and his loved ones.
