Peterborough United chairman and Liverpool fan Darragh MacAnthony believes Jude Bellingham would still represent 'good value' even if he were to cost more than £200million.
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder's price-tag took yet another potential leap last night as he played a crucial role in England's 3-0 World Cup round-of-16 win against Senegal. It was his driving run and cutback that found Reds captain Jordan Henderson for the opener on 38 minutes, and it was he who picked up a loose ball in midfield to set the wheels in motion for Harry Kane to make it 2-0 before the break.
Manchester City star Phil Foden last night described Bellingham as 'one of the most gifted players I've ever seen', while Jamie Carragher has since likened the 19-year-old's breakthrough campaign to that of Paul Gascoigne during Italia '90. Fair praise, then, for the teenager and an encouraging period for Dortmund who will look to maximise the profit from the mere £20million they signed him for in 2020.
