Manchester City star Phil Foden has said that he has never considered playing for another club.
Having worked his way through the club’s youth ranks, the 23-year-old has become a vital player for the Citizens and played a big part in their success over recent years.
Now though, the Englishman has shared some details about the early stages of his senior City career and the possibility of him potentially leaving the club around that period.
Foden says he has never considered City exit
Speaking in the latest edition of the Official Man City Podcast, Foden had this to say when asked if he considered joining another club on loan before he became an important figure in Pep Guardiola’s side.
He said: “No, honestly. I just always see myself as a City player.
“I always just thought if I work hard enough and I know what my ability is about, I can push in the team and over time I started getting more minutes and now I’m probably getting the most minutes I’ve had this year.
“So yeah, I’ve worked really hard for it and it’s thanks to the manager also for trusting me, so I have him to thank for that and keeping me around.”
Since making his senior debut for the Manchester club back in November 2017, the Englishman has gone on to make 241 appearances for City across all competitions, scoring 67 goals and providing 46 assists along the way.
This season has seen Foden feature in all but one of City’s games, finding the net seven times and delivering five assists, which shows how important he is for the team.
Given the role he has at City now and the level at which he has been performing, the idea of seeing Foden having a loan spell away from the club seems irrelevant now.
However, it is nice to hear the academy graduate share how he could only envision himself playing for the club he has supported all his life.
