PHIL FODEN hopes his dazzling Wembley display will have caught the eye of England boss Gareth Southgate.
The Manchester City starlet was man of the match as his team edged out Aston Villa to win the Carabao Cup.
Phil Foden is hoping to break into the England team but could have Jack Grealish for competition
Unfortunately Southgate was at Goodison Park on Sunday but assistant Steve Holland was in London for the showpiece final.
Foden, 19, is believed to be under consideration for England’s Euro 2020 warm-up matches against Italy and Denmark at the end of this month.
He is keen to step up from the Under-21s and said: “Hopefully Gareth was watching the final — and hopefully he saw things that he liked.
“That’s all I can do, show what I can every time I play and see where it takes me.
“I haven’t spoken much with Gareth — but he’s said he is keeping a close eye on me.
“I want to be there yet it’s very difficult with all the players we have.”
Foden’s opponent on Sunday Jack Grealish is also said to be in Southgate’s thoughts.
The Villa ace has impressed this season and could be the one to keep Foden out the squad if he is included.
