Fans hope this can be the season for Foden where he transitions into the world-class player he was always expected to be.
Manchester City skipper Kyle Walker had high praise for his fellow compatriot in an interview with ESPN. Walker claimed Foden has unlimited room for growth as he continues to improve with each passing day under Pep Guardiola. The Englishman stated, “I think he has proved it this year.

The hardest thing now is replicating that next season because as soon as you start having a couple of bad games or that purple patch kind of wears off, people are going to be on your back.”
