BOOTS TO PHIL Inside Phil Foden’s incredible rise to fame from trophies to money off pitch – and new nickname given to him by mates

Like Becks, the attacking midfielder is netting trophies on the pitch and millions of pounds off it.

Man City ace Phil Foden has been dubbed the David Beckham of his generation - as friends call him 'Fodenballs'

Phil is currently expecting his third child with sweetheart Rebecca Cooke

Manchester City ace Foden is set to star in tomorrow's FA Cup final against rivals Manchester United.

The showdown comes on the back of another incredible season in which he won his sixth Premier League title and scored a stunning 24 goals in all competitions.

He was named both Premier League player of the year and the Footballer Writers' player of the year.

And on Tuesday Gareth Southgate named the 23-year-old in his provisional 33-man squad for next month's Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.

But humble Foden is proving just as savvy when it comes to doing deals.

Latest publicly available accounts from his companies show his off-pitch earnings shot up by almost £10million.

His wealth has increased by £4.8million in a year after setting up PWF Management Ltd to handle his image rights and sponsorship deals.

That is the equivalent of £400,000 a month.

Foden and mum Claire Rowlands are listed as directors of the “sports activities” firm.

He has also amassed £4.4million in a second firm, Rondog Sports Ltd — named after his nickname of “Ronnie”, given to him by his gran to differentiate him from his dad, who is also called Phil.

Foden has deals with Nike, Hugo Boss and jewellery firm Cernucci on top of his £200,000-a-week City wages.

Top players also earn from the sale of merchandise including shirts that bear their name. Shrewd Foden also set up PF Property Holdings in 2022.

Foden, expecting a third child with sweetheart Rebecca Cooke, 24, has splashed out £2.8million on a home in the footballer enclave of Prestbury for parents Phil Snr and Clare.

He then paid £3million for the five-bedroom mansion where he lives with Rebecca, five-year-old son Ronnie and daughter True, one.

It is just a stone's throw from where United's Wayne Rooney used to live.

Despite it all, Foden still has some way to go to catch up Goldenballs Beckham who, according to the recent Sunday Times Rich List, is now worth £455million with wife Victoria.

Also, unlike Becks, Foden is yet to amass a huge garage of supercars, having only passed his driving test in December while at the wheel of a VW ID3.

However, he does have a £150,000 Mercedes G Wagon — decked out with sky blue seats — and a £100,000 Mercedes Vito people carrier.

Despite his millions, Foden remains a regular visitor to the working class area of Edgeley, Stockport, where he grew up and learned his skills while kicking a ball against a wall.

He is a loyal customer of Scissor Trim where he pays £20 for a skin fade, grabs Indian takeaways from Bombay Castle and often pops into Fresh Clothing.
