I absolutely love how versatile Foden has become. A while back we probably couldn’t have imagined him playing on the wings, but he looks at home there. You then remind yourself that even David Silva started as a ‘winger’. Foden will gravitate towards the centre as his career progresses, but right now, the extra space he has starting out wide is going to be good for him.
I can’t get over how good he is though. He’s England’s best midfielder already. It’s not just his goals and assists, it’s the way he moves with the ball, the way it’s glued to him, the already trademark ‘Foden shimmy’ where he plays the ball quickly with his left onto his right foot to evade a challenge, the way he receives the ball, his awareness and vision. He’s a superstar in the making. Truly world class potential.
