“I know his talent” “I want to play with him” – Phil Foden says he can’t wait to play with £42m Chelsea star
Both Cole Palmer and Phil Foden rose through the Manchester City ranks, but Foden made his breakthrough first.
Palmer, who is now a star player for Chelsea, had to find a way out of the Etihad Stadium in order to have a chance.
During their time together in the England squad at the Euros, Foden said that he was close to Cole Palmer and was eager to watch the Chelsea player perform.
Foden said: “Me and Cole have been hanging out quite a lot on camp.
“We’ve been going to the sauna and steam [room], playing a bit of paddle. Someone I know really well from my club. He’s a close friend.
“I’ve been training with them for many years at City. I know his talent and how good he is. He can only get better.
“He’s someone that I can see can have a big effect on the tournament when he gets his opportunity so looking forward to it.”
