Manchester City attacker Phil Foden has insisted that the best is still to come in an England shirt, despite already becoming an important member of the Three Lions squad.
The 22-year-old has made two starts for Gareth Southgate's side at the World Cup in Qatar, with the Blues man starting in the Round of 16 clash against Senegal and in the Group B victory over Wales on Friday night.
Foden got himself on the scoresheet as the Three Lions cruised past Wales in the group stage clash and retained his spot in the starting line-up in the absence of Raheem Sterling, who missed the match to deal with a family matter.

Despite having now featured for England at two major tournaments, Foden has vowed to continue improving as he looks to achieve success with the national side.
When asked on ITV if his best has come in a Three Lions shirt, the City man replied: "Definitely not. After a game, I’ll be sitting in my bedroom thinking about what I can improve so it just doesn’t stop."
Foden also discussed missing last summer's Euros final through injury, admitting that he broke down in tears when he discovered that he would miss the clash against Italy.
"Me being me, how much I love football, just after training I was pinging a ball around with Jack and I went over on my foot," said Foden.
"Couldn’t walk after it, I spoke to the manager and I remember just breaking down into tears, gutted really."
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville claimed that England might as well 'pack it in' if Foden isn't able to thrive in a Three Lions shirt.
He said: "I’m trying to think of a player I played with over the last 20 to 30 years who will get the ball on the half-turn, accelerate but still have their head up to pass it at the right time - that’s Paul Gascoigne.
"John Barnes could do it, but you’re talking about that level. If we don’t make Phil Foden work for England, we might as well pack in, it’s something sensational. He’s got a bit of devil about him which is absolutely pivotal."
