Foden and Mount inject youthful zest

Europe's top clubs invest millions in signing players from all over the world but two of the key players in Saturday's Champions League final between Manchester City and Chelsea are a reminder that there is still value in home-grown talent.

City's Phil Foden and Chelsea's Mason Mount both head to Porto after seasons in which they moved from the 'promising youngster' category into fully-fledged game-changers.

Both clubs have been criticized in recent years for failing to give opportunities to players from their academies but the investments of time and coaching expertise in the two attacking midfielders have paid off this term.

With both players in Gareth Southgate's England squad for Euro 2020, this could be the summer when they truly announce themselves on the global stage.
