Reece James, Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling may have taken the first steps towards convincing Jude Bellingham to join Chelsea. The 19-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League for a while now as he continues to impress for club and country.
Bellingham netted the opener in England's World Cup clash with Iran, becoming the youngest players to score for the Three Lions at the tournament since Michael Owen in 1998. Alongside Chelsea stars Mount and Sterling, the Borussia Dortmund star was central to Gareth Southgate's side kickstarting the campaign with a 6-2 win.
And, Bellingham was quick to upload a post to his Instagram to earmark what was a historic moment in his exciting career. In the caption under a picture of himself celebrating his goal, he wrote: "Start as we mean to go on. Good time to finally get my first goal for England. Another dream come true. Let’s keep pushing!"
