Phil Foden [47]

In an era where players are increasingly judged based on their attacking numbers, we’ve ranked the top twenty players in Europe that have registered double figures for both goals and assists. Players across seven different European leagues feature in the list with four English Premier League stars ranking in the top ten - Manchester City's Phil Foden sits just outside in 11th place with Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez 12th.

All eyes will be on Manchester on Sunday as the city’s two biggest clubs meet in the English Premier League. The Manchester derby has grown in significance across the last two decades with Manchester City developing into England’s dominant side after investment from the Middle East. 

Fears concerning the inevitability of Manchester City’s brilliance were undoubtedly realised on Sunday afternoon, when Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions claimed all three points in the derby against Manchester United, despite first conceding a goal in the opening 45 minutes. For the sixth time in this season’s Premier League campaign, Man City came from behind to claim all three points. And no player exemplified that never-say-die attitude more than young midfielder Phil Foden.

Meanwhile, things are going downhill for numerous Chelsea footballers, some of whom are seeing their market values plummet at Stamford Bridge.
