Phil Foden has personal chef move into grounds of new country home as mum reveals shock change to Man City star’s diet
PHIL FODEN has moved a chef into the grounds of his new home as he attempts to cook up a storm in the Premier League over the coming months.
The Manchester City and England striker has recently moved away from his Stockport roots and into a country pile.
And Foden, 24, has taken a full-time chef with him who will live in the gatekeeper’s cottage on the Cheshire Estate.
A source revealed: “Phil wants to be on top of his nutrition and the chef has a lovely space to prepare all his meals.
“It’s the ultimate luxury and because he’s away a lot with the team, having his own chef means he can just focus on his football and young family.”
Foden’s mum Claire recently told Talk Eat Laugh: “The shocking thing is I hear him ordering salmon a lot now and he never used to eat that!
“He used to have low iron levels, but that’s all up to scratch now.”
Foden, 24, has three children with childhood sweetheart Rebecca Cooke.
He was named last season’s PFA Player of the Year after a sensational campaign with Man City.
He scored 27 goals and assisted 12 in 53 games as Pep Guardiola‘s men claimed their fourth successive Premier League title.

But so far this season he has started just three of Man City’s 10 league matches.
One of those came on Saturday as the champions suffered their first Premier League defeat in 11 months.
Bournemouth beat Man City 2-1 thanks to goals from Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson.
The result leaves City two points adrift of Liverpool after Arne Slot’s men came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 at Anfield.
Fellow title rivals Arsenal lost more ground as their 1-0 defeat to Newcastle sees them seven points adrift.
