Phil Foden's four-year-old son, Ronnie, has bagged a modelling contract after gaining nearly four million followers on social media.
The little lad became a hit with fans after joining in the celebrations when Manchester City won the Champions League final in June. Ronnie, dubbed 'The Dude' and 'El Way' by City fans, is now seen as an unofficial mascot for the Premier League giants.
He's also amassed a whopping 3.8 million followers on Instagram, managed by his parents. The young model has signed a deal with Propel Talent Group, according to The Sun. His first gig was posing in a hoodie and tracksuit bottoms from designer outlet Flannels, part of their Represent range.

What do you think of the modelling contract? Let us know in the comments section
He was spotted singing with Rico Lewis on the team bus, boogying in the dressing room with the squad and soaking up the fun while perched on his dad's shoulders. Even his dad was taken aback by his son's sudden rise to fame.
"His personality has made him who he is. I think he went quite viral after [we] won the Champions League.
"He just reminds me of myself when I was a kid and he's very funny," Foden told Sky Sports in September.
"I couldn't believe it. Every comment on my social media page was asking to see him. So I thought I'd give the fans what they wanted and create an account for him and it just blew up."
If he was at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, Ronnie would have seen his dad play the full 90 minutes of City's draw with Liverpool. Erling Haaland scored the first goal for the hosts, but a late strike from Trent Alexander-Arnold levelled the score.
