‘Foden doesn’t need to leave Man City’ – England boss Southgate unfazed by struggle for minutes

Phil Foden was expected to have forced his way into the senior England squad by now, but Gareth Southgate says the Manchester City starlet does not need a move to make that happen.

The 19-year-old midfielder starred for his country as the Young Lions won the U17 World Cup in 2017 and has since stepped up through the ranks into the U21 set-up.

He is considered to be one of the most naturally-gifted performers to have been developed by the English game in some time, but faces fierce competition for places at club level.
