Manchester City star Phil Foden confessed he wants to spend his entire career in his boyhood club.
How many players can proudly say they’ve featured in over 100 matches for their boyhood club at the age of 20? Well, we don’t have the exact number but we know one who surely can: Phil Foden.
The English midfielder has broken many records at Manchester City and many believe he will become a club legend. However, his recent performances led to interest from multiple top clubs, including Real Madrid. Therefore, there were serious doubts on whether the 20-year-old would remain loyal to the Citizens. Nevertheless, Foden has now decided to clarify where he wants to spend his future years at.
“I can only see myself playing for Manchester City, considering how much I’ve supported them from a young age,” Foden told BBC’s Football Focus. “It always helps when you play for a club you support. When I was younger, it was a dream to play for the club, so never did I think I would make it to 100 appearances so early. I gave the shirt from that [West Brom] game to my family and they got it framed.”
Phil Foden has scored nine goals for City this season.
The England international has been one of Manchester City’s best players this season and already has more starts than in the entire previous spell. As he achieved a new goalscoring record, Foden was asked what his secret was.
“I wouldn’t say I’m doing anything different this season, just playing more of an attacking role. In previous years, I’ve played in the middle. Now I’m out wide and you always get confidence when you score in back-to-back games. Sometimes you get lucky when chances fall to you. I just enjoy scoring goals and that’s what I wanted to add to my game.”
