Raheem Sterling has tipped Chelsea target Jude Bellingham to go 'to the very top' following an impressive display against Iran. The 19-year-old midfielder propelled England to a 6-2 win in the nation's World Cup opener with a fantastic display.
Alongside Blues midfielder Mason Mount and West Ham captain Declan Rice, Bellingham proved why he's one of Europe's most coveted players as he became the Three Lions' youngest goalscorer at World Cup since Michael Owen in 1998. While it's easy to get excited about the Borussia Dortmund star's potential, Sterling has urged supporters to not pile on the pressure and to give him space to develop.
"He's a fantastic player. He's one that we've just got to let keep doing his thing and enjoying his football and not putting pressure on him," the Chelsea winger told talkSPORT. "I think he'll get to the very top, but we've just got to be patient and let him flow, and as you see with club football and now internationally, he's doing really well.
