While Jack Grenish does not start from Manchester City, could Phil Foden go away? A consultant and former OM player thinks.
Unrecognizable this season -32 games, 3 goals, 5 assists -, the 29 -year -old winger has been pushed outside for several weeks, and has been dismissed from the Cityzens group who will compete in the Club World Cup in June and July. Sent especially in the Premier League, the international refused an attractive destination, namely his former club, Aston Villa, 6th of PL.
For Tony Cascarino, this complex situation vis-à-vis Jack Grenish, with a price 58 M€ too high, could send another English to the exit, namely Phil foot :
“While he had been elected player of the year the previous season, his performances this year simply did not justify this title. But with everything that is happening in City and all the expenses made, I would not be surprised that (Phil) Foden is authorized to leave somewhere.“
Phil Foden at Arsenal?
On Talk Sportthe former Marseille striker (1994-1996) estimated that Mikel Arteta could welcome him in his workforce:
“I don't know if City would let him go to Arsenal, but they let Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko leave (at the Gunners, editor's note). If Arsenal could have it, I think that Artata would really consider it, yes. (…) With all these new players who arrive, they will have to sell someone. There are some who will have to go.“
Especially since Gabriel Martinelli has “Need competition” On the left side, at Arsenal, according to Tony Cascarino. But does the sale of an element worth 100 M€ according to Transfer market Is it possible on the side of Manchester City and Pep Guardiola? Not sure, even if, indeed, the English club has spent a lot – 130,7 M€ – and will have to recover money somewhere.
