Phil Foden hopes to finish his career at Manchester City

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden says he couldn't imagine playing for another team and he's hoping to finish his career with the club.

The 20-year-old England international joined the City setup aged nine and has now made 100 senior appearances for Pep Guardiola's side.

It's been suggested that Foden should seek a loan move away from the Etihad but the former under-17 World Cup winner wants to remain at the Premier League leaders.

“I can only see myself playing for Manchester City, considering how much I’ve supported them from a young age,” Foden told BBC's Football Focus show.

“It always helps when you play for a club you support. When I was younger, it was a dream to play for the club, so never did I think I would make it to 100 appearances so early.

Foden's been among City's top scorers this season, finding the net nine times in 27 games - he says that's due to playing higher up the pitch this term.

“I wouldn’t say I’m doing anything different this season, just playing more of an attacking role.

"In previous years, I’ve played in the middle. Now I’m out wide and you always get confidence when you score in back-to-back games.

“Sometimes you get lucky when chances fall to you. I just enjoy scoring goals and that’s what I wanted to add to my game."
