He posted a clip of Ronnie, five, and True, three, zipping round his Cheshire mansion’s garden.

The £11million-a-year star had no problem paying at least £800 each for the gifts.

Phil, 24, also has a baby with partner Rebecca Cooke.

It comes after Phil moved a chef into the grounds of his home as he attempts to cook up a storm in the Premier League over the coming months.

READ MORE ON PHIL FODEN

The Manchester City and England striker has recently moved away from his Stockport roots and into a country pile.

And Foden, 24, has taken a full-time chef with him who will live in the gatekeeper’s cottage on the Cheshire Estate.

A source revealed: “Phil wants to be on top of his nutrition and the chef has a lovely space to prepare all his meals.

“It’s the ultimate luxury and because he’s away a lot with the team, having his own chef means he can just focus on his football and young family.”

Foden's mum Claire recently told Talk Eat Laugh: "The shocking thing is I hear him ordering salmon a lot now and he never used to eat that!

"He used to have low iron levels, but that’s all up to scratch now."

Phil Foden's fed-up neighbours have declared war on the England ace for destroying their neighbourhood and turning it into Skid Row
