Guardiola: "Foden is ready to make the switch to England."
Englishman Gareth Southgate recently complained about the lack of creativity in his team. He said the Three Lions never filled the void left by former player Paul Gascoigne.
Foden is now considered a potential solution to this problem. But at the age of 18, Foden is still a reserve member in City, not much chance to enter the field.
Despite this, Foden's mentor, Guardiola, still believes he is ready to make the next step in his career. Spanish giants have promised Southgate that the man will be a key part of City's current season.
"I think Phil is ready," Pep said. "He's here. If he is not ready, he will not be here. It was a very special guy. His morale is excellent, so he will have many minutes to play this season and then Gareth can make his decision. "
Southgate's biggest concern is whether Foden's progress has been hampered by competition between a squad of world-class players in the City.
Foden has played just eight minutes in the Premiership this season. It was the 82nd minute of a 6-1 victory over Huddersfield last month. He was only involved in the first three games of all competitions last season. But Guardiola insists the youngster will compete with the greatest names of the Premiership this season.
Foden's teacher added: "He is ready and then, just like with Leroy Sane, he can compete with David Silva, with Ilkay Guendogan, with Kevin De Bruyne when he is perfectly healthy, with Fernandinho. as well as other excellent players.
If you look at 10 or 20 big clubs in Europe, you will not see many 18, 19 players coming on. "
Meanwhile, Guardiola has revealed his desire to move to coaching the national team, but does not think it will be Spain.
"In our lives, we have dreams about what we want to do in the future, but that does not mean it will happen," Pep says. "I want to go to the World Cup and the Euro Cup. I want to live in that atmosphere. "
"When I watched the World Cup, I thought I wanted to be there. I only have one chance to do that as a player. In 8, 12, 14 years maybe this will happen with my coaching career. "
Asked if he thought of the prospect of coaching his country, Guardiola said: "I think it will not happen."
