Man City have been given yet another reason to make Jude Bellingham their top transfer target

It's hard to call Jude Bellingham the breakout star of the World Cup considering he's been playing at an incredibly high level for two years already but his displays for England will certainly be ensuring the whole world knows just how good he is.

It's remarkable that Bellingham is still a teenager. Just 19-year-old but yet he's swaggering around the pitch as if he's already been dominating them for a decade. Just imagine what he will be like after he has.

England 's knock-out games, especially World Cups, are supposed to be edgy, nervy affairs but Bellingham's guile and class made Sunday's 3-0 victory over Senegal in the last 16 almost rudimentary. The Three Lions hardly had to shift out of second gear for the entire second half and concluded the match without any bookings or injuries ahead of a blockbuster tie with France.
