Edin Terzic has admitted that Jude Bellingham is ‘quite possibly’ the best player in Borussia Dortmund’s history amid growing speculation that the midfielder is set to a huge summer move.
The 19-year-old had gone from strength to strength since joining the Bundesliga outfit from Birmingham in 2020, captaining his side for the last two games in the absence of Marco Reus. The most recent of which came in the 3-1 win at Sevilla, and Bellingham’s brilliant solo goal made him both the first English teenager to start a Champions League game as captain and the first teenage midfielder to score in three consecutive games in the competition.
Such performances look to have secured Bellingham's place at the top of Gareth Southgate’s team sheet, with the midfielder all but guaranteed to start alongside Declan Rice in Qatar. The Three Lions boss has recently praised the Dortmund star’s ‘top-level mentality’ , while Rice labelled him the ‘future of English football’ .
