He shed light on Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and more in conversation with It’s All Kicking Off! podcast co-host Ian Ladyman
Almost five years have passed since Ladyman last spoke with Foden. Then he was just a kid at 18 years old. A hugely talented kid.
People within the club had an idea of what they wanted Foden to achieve but what did he think was possible.
‘The challenge for me was always a mountain to climb to even reach the first team,’ Foden says in the It’s All Kicking Off! interview.
‘In my head I just wanted to make one appearance for this club and be able to say that I had done it.
‘But once I did that I thought: “No I can actually play here. I can handle the standard”.
‘Now I am at that stage where I feel like I am a key player in the team. I feel very comfortable with that.’
Now, Foden is eyeing individual honours.
‘I hope I am up there in the conversation,’ he says with two player of the year awards up for grabs.
