Phil Foden Reveals the Modest Sum he Pays for a Haircut Despite Earning £200k-a-Week at Man City
- 4 months ago
Man City star Phil Foden has revealed the modest sum he pays for his haircut after scoring in the club's 3-1 win over FC Copenhagen - before leaving TNT pundits in stitches by goading Micah Richards over his trips to the barber.
Foden scored Man City's third and final goal to wrap up a confident first-leg win in the Champions League last-16 to cap off a superb display and was in a good mood as he spoke to the broadcaster after the game.
The 23-year-old has become a key figure under Pep Guardiola this season, scoring 14 times and providing 10 assists at the Etihad to lead their hopes of another big trophy haul, while also giving himself a huge chance of making England's starting XI at Euro 2024 this summer.
And after assessing his performance in Denmark, the topic quickly turned to Foden's hair after pundit Richards noticed he had a 'fresh trim' - asking the player how much he pays for a haircut.
'Before you go, who is your barber because your trim is looking quite fresh I'm not gonna lie,' Richards asked the player.
Foden then responded: 'I've heard you pay a lot for your trim,' leaving Richards and fellow pundits Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry in stitches.
Richards revealed the eyewatering sum he spends on a haircut last year - claiming he spends around £600 a week on three separate trips to the barber.
Presenter Kate Abdo then pressed Foden on how much he splashes out, with the England international answer shocking the studio.
'£20 from the local he said. 'I swear. I sort him out sometimes but I've been to the same barber since the age of eight.'
During a Champions League night last year, Richards explained his baffling expenditure on a trim.
'What does my barber cost? £200 a time yes. When I say the most, like I'll get a trim tomorrow for the Champions League and I'm working the weekend so I'll get a trim.
'I did it today. I've got to get a sharpen up tomorrow.'
Abdo then went on to explain that three haircuts a week at that price equates to over £31,000 a year though Richards insisted it was only during punditry weeks.
Foden was speaking to the punditry team about his sparkling form that has seen him score five goals in the last three games.
Quizzed on whether he had ever felt more vital, Foden told TNT Sports: 'I don't think so. It's the most run of games I've probably had in a City shirt.
'When you're playing every game I think you can get a lot of rhythm. I'm feeling good this year and I'm helping the team the best I can.'
Foden believes the key to his impressive performances lies in his consistent run of starts rather than Guardiola's tactical decision to field him in central positions.
'Like I said, when you get a run of games you find your feet and start getting connections with other players,' he added.
'I first started playing in the pocket but today I played wide and did an alright job.'
