Michael Owen has admitted he was wrong in thinking Jude Bellingham's energy was a symptom of inexperience - adding that the Liverpool transfer target's selfless nature makes him loved among managers and team0mates.
Bellingham has long been on the radar of Europe's top clubs but rose to stardom for his performances during England's run to the World Cup quarter-finals in Qatar. The 19-year-old scored his first international goal in the 6-2 win against Iran and often drove the Three Lions forward with his powerful running and relentless pressing.
That seemingly infinite energy has always been present at Borussia Dortmund can often be mistaken for the inexperience of a young player trying to do too much. That was the belief of Owen. But, having thought about it more, the former Liverpool striker admitted that, rather than youthful naivety, it is proof of Bellingham's grounded and selfless nature.
