"Fearless" Jude Bellingham backed for World Cup stardom by ex-England midfielder

Ray Parlour believes Jude Bellingham can be England’s star man in Qatar after his stunning performance against Iran.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder, 19, inspired Gareth Southgate's side to a 6-2 victory in their opening World Cup game against Iran on Monday - scoring the opening goal - and is expected to retain his spot against the United States on Friday.

Bukayo Saka is also poised to continue in attack after scoring a brace against Iran. Parlour is a huge fan of Saka, 21, and Bellingham - and the Arsenal legend believes England’s "fearless" attitude could help them go far in Qatar.
