THREE Lions ace Phil Foden and his Wag Rebecca Cooke hope England winning the Euros is on the cards after visiting a psychic.
The Manchester City wizard, 24, was given a tarot card reading by mystic Chloe Smith, 25, just days before the tournament kicks off tomorrow in Germany.
Spiritual Phil’s visit for a tarot card reading with his pregnant partner Rebecca Cooke was just days before Euro 2024 kicks off in Germany.
Chloe, who claims to be able to tune into clients’ energy, said: “I loved reading for Phil and Becca, both very spiritual and kind-hearted people! A lot of luck is coming Phil’s way for sure!”
It comes as England prepare for their opening group game against Serbia on Sunday, with Foden, 24, tipped to feature after a stellar season with Manchester City.
A source said: “Phil was as keen as Rebecca to get the reading done, especially with such a big tournament on the horizon.
“Hopefully Chloe told him she saw football was coming home! Phil is very in touch with his feelings and was keen to see if Chloe could give him any insight into the future.
“A lot of top players spend time doing positive visualisations ahead of games in the hope it helps. If it relaxes them and makes them feel good, that can only be positive.”
Mum-of-three Chloe, from Uttoxeter, Staffs, said she decided to become a medium after seeing the spirit of her grandmother at her funeral four years ago.
The 25-year-old, who initially did free readings for friends before charging around £35 a session, said: “I started seeing angels and dead people at home.
“It was such a positive feeling, I didn’t feel anxious or scared.”
She asks most customers to bring along a photo of a loved one, and counts dozens of celebrities as clients including Helen Skelton, Daisy May Cooper and Maura Higgins.
She explained: “Your past loved ones can’t come forward and say ‘hi’. I basically see symbols and signs or they use my body as a channel. I use tarot cards to confirm information, but I only do positive information. I don’t tell you when you’re going to die.”
Phil was so impressed by Chloe he offered a discount code for followers on Instagram.
Last month the £200,000-a-week star won his fourth Premier League title in a row with Man City, bagging a staggering 24 goals.
Ex-England star Wayne Rooney has urged Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate to “build the team around him”. His mystic visit will hopefully go better than England’s last attempt to seek divine intervention to win a trophy.
Manager Glenn Hoddle enlisted the services of “faith healer” Eileen Drewery at the 1998 World Cup.
Some players including Paul Merson said she helped. But Ray Parlour famously mocked her by sitting down and asking for a “short back and sides”. England went out in the round of 16.

WAGS’ PACK BOOST
By Paul Sims
ENGLAND’S Wags sent secret parcels to their partners ahead of this Sunday’s Euros opener against Serbia, we can reveal.
The surprise packages were put on the players’ beds before they arrived at their five-star Weimarer Spa training base in Blankenhain.
A source said: “Each Wag made up a box containing special items.
“They wrote letters to be opened on set days during the tournament to give the players that extra boost.
“They also include photos of family and friends that they can stick on the wall of their hotel room.
“Teddies and pillows laced with perfume are in the bundle too.
“The package is designed to make them feel more at home. The players will hopefully be away from their loved ones for over a month — so every little detail has been seen to.”
At previous tournaments, boss Gareth Southgate rewarded the players for getting out of the group stage with a family day. He is likely to do the same in Germany.
The Wags will roar on the Three Lions at Gelsenkirchen’s 62,000-seat Veltins Arena on Sunday.
