Phil Foden has been tipped to complete a stunning transfer away from Manchester City this summer - to another Premier League club.

The attacking midfielder is currently at the Club World Cup with Manchester City, as Pep Guardiola's side prepare to take on Tunisian outfit Wydad AC in their opening group fixture on Wednesday.

Foden will be one of the more well-rested players in the squad, as he declined the opportunity to go on international duty with England earlier this month.

He said (via the Daily Mail) that his decision was based on 'a lot of things going on off the pitch mentally' this season, while he is also dealing with an ankle issue.

It was a tough season for Foden, who only scored seven Premier League goals - his lowest total since the 2019/20 season - and found himself in and out of the starting XI over the second half of the campaign.

He has now been tipped to complete a shocking transfer after he returns from the States with City.

Former Chelsea, Marseille and Republic of Ireland striker Tony Cascarino believes that the 2024 Champions League winners may allow Foden to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer, in a decision that would rock world football.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Cascarino named City's Premier League rivals Arsenal as a possible destination.

He explained: "All the spending that's gone on [at City], I wouldn't be surprised if Foden is allowed to go somewhere.

"Obviously Arteta worked at Man City with Phil Foden and, for whatever reason, I'm sure we'll find out down the line, Phil Foden just hasn't been the player we know him to be this season.

"From where he was the Football Writers' Player of the Year the season before, his performances this year have just not justified that.

"Whether City let him go to Arsenal, I don't know. But they let Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko go there.

"If Arsenal could get him, I think Arteta would really consider that, yeah."

It must be noted, of course, that Foden is a much more important player to City than Jesus and Zinchenko were at the point of their sales to Arsenal.

And speaking last month, his manager Guardiola said that it was one of his key priorities to help the 24-year-old return to his best form.

"It's true, Phil said that and of course he has not been [at his best]. Not [just] for him, all of us, his family, for us.

"He's a baby boy from the academy and become a star with us. We want to help him, that's the most important thing."
