"I'm so, so happy about Phil. To be honest he's a very good kid, a very shy kid. For me, he has the ability to be the best English player in history when he finishes his career," Rodri said at Tuesday's award ceremony.
"He needs to keep the level up in his game, already he's one of the best players in the league and in Europe. I think he could get even better," Rodri commented, emphasizing Foden’s potential.
"He was outstanding last season and it's the first season I saw him carrying the team on his back," Rodri praised Foden's leadership and performance during the previous season.
Foden is the first Englishman to win the PFA Player's Player of the Year award since Wayne Rooney in 2010, and the first to do so in the same year as winning the Premier League title since John Terry in 2005.
