Former Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips believes Phil Foden may have to leave to fulfill his potential.

Foden has played just 84 minutes as a substitute in seven Premier League games this season, with two starts in the EFL Cup and one in the Champions League.

"Phil Foden will have a big decision on his hands this summer," said Wright-Phillips to the Mirror. “In any footballer's head there comes a point where he recognises that he needs to be playing more games.

“It's fair to think that if Phil Foden was playing regularly, he has enough quality to be in the England set-up. There's a danger that a lack of game time could stagnate his career.

“Of course, he's learning from some amazing players, he's fought his way through, he's taken his chances when given.

“But he's at the stage where he needs to kick on to the next level and play consistently.

“You look at someone like Jadon Sancho, he took the chance of going abroad to get more game time and now he's possibly up there with the top players, wingers, in the world.

"Youth has always been essential to the Man City set-up and they are screaming out for a player like Foden to establish himself in the team.

“But Foden needs to decide whether it is best to wait around or move on elsewhere to establish himself."
