Gary Lineker has advised Gareth Southgate to use Phil Foden as England's number 10 at Euro 2024, even though Jude Bellingham excels in that position for Real Madrid.
Lineker said: "Phil Foden will play, he's world class. He has to start in that side, but it's a question of where because we're spoiled for number 10s in the squad. Having said that, he can play on either wing too. I'd be interested to see how and where he features for England.
"I'd like to see him play the number 10 role with Jude Bellingham in midfield. Whether Gareth Southgate goes with that, we'll have to wait and see. I've been a fan of Foden for a long time. He's been fabulous this season.
"He can play in any position and he's realising that potential that we all saw in him. I love the way he takes the ball on the half-turn, the way he finishes, his work-rate, his energy. His first touch is sublime. He's a joy to watch."
Foden has had an outstanding season with Manchester City, contributing to 38 goals and winning both the Premier League and the FWA Player of the Year awards as City clinched their fourth consecutive league title.
