Chelsea's pursuit of Borussia Dortmund and England youngster Jude Bellingham looks set to continue over the next few months as interest pours in for a potentially generational talent. It comes as little surprise though given his performances on both the domestic and international stage.
For his club side, the 19-year-old has already become a key member of the squad, featuring every week and even captaining them at times. As for the Three Lions, the former Birmingham City player is starting to make his mark during a huge World Cup campaign for his nation.
“The quality, everybody knows it. The whole package is really good,” Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said when giving his assessment of the youngster earlier this year. “He was 17 when he arrived but it was not just about his quality, [it was] how he was leading, his kicking, going to the referee. This guy was something special in terms of his mentality. Now he is 19 and he is already one of the captains.”
