Man City ace Foden: Everyone here thinking about Champions League

Manchester City youngster Phil Foden is looking to land a statue at the club when he retires.

The 22-year-old came through the club's academy and wants to remain a Citizen for a long time to come.

Foden has excelled under boss Pep Guardiola over the past two seasons, becoming a regular for the first team.

“I came from a rough area and not many people make it from my area. So to come out of that and see what I've done, I'm obviously proud of that," Foden told Arab 360.

"It's so special to be part of this City team. Hopefully, in years to come, I can talk about my experience to my young kids and tell them how it was.

"Hopefully I can be remembered as a legend here when I finish, hopefully get a statue - I want that, definitely! For now, I'm just enjoying every moment."

“I hope it's this year. Definitely, the Champions League is the one we are all looking at now," he added on the rest of this season.

“We want to take a step further.

"We have been in a final and obviously it was heartbreaking to lose. Hopefully, if we can get there again we can use the defeat in the final, and the experience of winning the Premier League and other cups, to help us through it."
