Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham linked up with England this week, with both impressing to help the Three Lions qualify for Euro 2024.
Phil Foden might have finally found his best position in the England set-up - and it's remarkably similar to his favourite position with Manchester City.
Gareth Southgate has always challenged Foden to show he can play regularly for City before getting a run for England, and the same applies to the number ten role. In fairness to Southgate, he picked Foden as a roaming ten against Italy this week after he played the same position for City.ALSO READ: Rodri drops hint over Man City future when asked about Saudi Arabia transfer
It was Foden's clever ball to Bellingham that set England on their way for Marcus Rashford's goal, as Bellingham advanced and used the decoy run of Harry Kane to feed the goalscorer. Foden tested Gianluigi Donnarumma when he played a lovely one-two with Bellingham to create space, and the pair constantly used each other to turn possession into chances for England.
So City may not get to benefit from the tantalising Foden-Bellingham link-up themselves, but the fact that Foden continues to shine in central areas, alongside world-class players, can only be a positive.
