Manchester City attacker Phil Foden admits he draws inspiration from England teammate Bukayo Saka.

Arsenal winger Saka has bounced back from his penalty miss against Italy at Wembley two years ago to establish himself as a talisman for both Arsenal and his country.

Foden is driven by his own sense of personal disappointment after he missed out on the Euro 2020 final with a foot injury.

Definitely, I learn from him," said Foden of Saka. From him missing that penalty, he's turned it around with his performances on the pitch for club and country. He's such a nice lad and everyone loves him. He's a big part of what we do here.

It shows what a person he is. He's such a young lad, he's still developing and still learning about the game. For him to come back from something like that just shows the courage he's got and how much he's come on. I'm so happy for him."
