Phil Foden has looked good in his number ten role at Manchester City - a position many feel is his best for England.
For a time, Gareth Southgate wouldn't select Phil Foden because he wasn't playing regularly for Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola has been firm in his stance that Foden's early development should come on the wings, away from the defensive responsibility he wasn't ready for. It was a way to give Foden time to enjoy playing at the highest level, scoring goals, and winning trophies. Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham look like mainstays in that midfield, so Foden's 'number ten' role could complement them both in the coming years. Foden has probably played more centrally for his country than for his club, with two goals and four assists coming from his 13 outings in central or attacking midfield. He has one goal and four assists playing wide from 12 caps, with his playing time split relatively evenly between the wings and the centre.
Foden hasn't started a game in the midfield since last year's September international break, with the caveat being that there have only been three international windows since then including the World Cup.
