we\u2019ll find out down the line, Phil Foden just hasn\u2019t been the player we know him to be this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018From where he was the Football Writers\u2019 Player of the Year the season before, his performances this year have just not justified that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But all what\u2019s happening at City and all the spending that\u2019s gone on, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Foden is allowed to go somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Whether City let him go Arsenal, I don\u2019t know, but they let Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko go there.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If Arsenal could get him, I think Arteta would really consider that, yeah.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>For more stories like this,\u00a0<a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/sport\/\"
