The City midfielder further added, “I love this club so much, so to know I am going to be a part of it until 2027 feels amazing.”
Foden has played some excellent football throughout the season. The midfielder has already scored seven goals and provided three assists in all competitions, this season.
The young City midfielder is also a big part of the English team that will take part in the Qatar World Cup 2022. Foden now will hope to carry his great form ahead of the perennial event.
