It has long been inevitable that all elite clubs across Europe would be interested in signing Jude Bellingham when the time comes that he leaves Borussia Dortmund. But just in case any recruitment teams had been living under a rock, the 19-year-old’s performances at the 2022 World Cup have ended any sliver of doubt regarding his destiny for reaching the very top of the sport.
It may look from the score line that England beat Senegal easily enough, but it was uncomfortable for the opening half an hour. Bellingham sorted matters though, by assisting Jordan Henderson for the opening goal before playing a key role in the build-up for the second.
Watching him winning the ball before carrying it up field was a joy to behold, and a perfect snapshot of his strengths. It was inevitable he would generate even more transfer interest in Qatar.
