Jude Bellingham has revealed Erling Haaland's kind messages during the World Cup, as he continues to star for England.
The 19-year-old midfielder has been a revelation for the Three Lions in Qatar, scoring one goal and registering one assist over four outstanding performances. Bellingham's dominant displays have garnered him rave reviews across the globe, and ex- Borussia Dortmund teammate Haaland is among those impressed.
Having spent two years alongside Bellingham at Dortmund, Haaland knows the English sensation well and has been in contact with him during the tournament which his Norway didn't qualify for. "He's always really encouraging," Bellingham told BBC Sport. "He messaged me before and after the first game just saying, 'good luck' and then he said 'well done'. He's a top guy."
