Phil Foden told he may have to follow Jadon Sancho and leave Man City for sake of career

Shaun Wright-Phillips insists Phil Foden may have to follow Jadon Sancho out of Manchester City to kickstart his career. Foden has made seven Premier League appearances as a substitute and has played just 84 minutes, with two starts in the EFL Cup and one in the Champions League. Sancho left City in 2017 for Borussia Dortmund, after growing frustrated at his lack of first-team opportunities under Pep Guardiola and his move earned him a full England call-up and an interest from different European clubs. "Phil Foden will have a big decision on his hands this summer,” said Wright-Phillips. “In any footballer’s head there comes a point where he recognises that he needs to be playing more games. It’s fair to think that if Phil Foden was playing regularly, he has enough quality to be in the England set-up. There's a danger that a lack of game time could stagnate his career. “Of course, he’s learning from some amazing players, he’s fought his way through, he’s taken his chances when given. But he's at the stage where he needs to kick on to the next level and play consistently. “You look at someone like Jadon Sancho, he took the chance of going abroad to get more game time and now he’s possibly up there with the top players, wingers, in the world. Youth has always been essential to the Man City set-up and they are screaming out for a player like Foden to establish himself in the team. But Foden needs to decide whether it is best to wait around or move on elsewhere to establish himself." Source - The Mirror
