And he will be hoping his lightning quick feet and impressive trickery will have caught the eye of boss Pep Guardiola.

In one clip, the 18-year-old jinxed past three players as he nutmegged them at will inside the cage.

While in another, Foden - now playing with a miniature ball - took to the streets to show off his impeccable ball control with two players in pursuit.

To the amusement of the England youth international, he even managed to nutmeg both players at the same time.

Foden is widely regarded as one of the hottest prospects in England - as he recently become the youngest Premier League winner in history.

He featured in ten games for the Citizens last season - and even made a late cameo appearance in the Carabao Cup final win against Arsenal at Wembley.

City are believed to be keen to tie him down to a new deal at the Etihad - with his contract set to expire in 2020.

He starred for the Young Lions in India in October as he helped them win the U-20 World Cup - where he won the Golden Ball award.
