Man City ace Jack Grealish agrees with Phil Foden over 'frightening' Jude Bellingham

Manchester City ace Jack Grealish has agreed with Phil Foden about Jude Bellingham's "frightening" future, after the midfielder heaped praise on the Borussia Dortmund star who "can do everything".

The 19-year-old has fast become one of the most sought after talents in football. Bellingham has translated his stunning form in the Bundesliga to the biggest stage in Qatar, as he continues to impress during England's World Cup campaign.

His performances have no doubt made all of Europe's top clubs competing for his signature sit up and take notice as they try to tempt him away from Dortmund.

The former Birmingham City midfielder is also making a vital impact far closer to home, as his England teammates heap praise on his ability on the pitch. Foden was recently asked for his thoughts on his fellow Three Lions midfielder, as the City star waxed lyrical about what the future may hold for Bellingham.

"I don't want to big him up too much because he is still young, but he's one of the most gifted players I have ever seen," Foden told ITV.

"He has no weakness in his game. I think he will be the best midfielder in the world."

Grealish has now joined Foden in heaping praise on Bellingham, as he claimed that the Black and Yellows ace has the world at his feet.

He said: "I don’t know if he’s got better. Me personally, I knew he’d shine at this tournament but he’s mature in the way he plays. He’s got his whole career ahead of him, if he continues like this for the rest of his career, it’ll be absolutely frightening.

"Yeah [agrees with Phil Foden], he’s brilliant, he’s got everything. The only thing he ain’t got is he’s not a Villa fan, he’s a 'Bluenose' [Birmingham fan]. Can’t have everything can you? He’s a top, top lad, he’s such a good guy, so mature in the way he plays. He can run, defend, score goals, he can do everything honestly."
