Jude Bellingham is 'going to be the best midfielder in the world' , says one of the young England midfielder's teamates. It comes as the 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder insists England’s youngster are ready to test themselves against the very best after they set up a World Cup quarter-final against holders France.
Bellingham was a shining light in an England performance bursting with confidence as they saw off Senegal 3-0 in the last 16 at Al Bayt Stadium on Sunday night.
Bellingham laid on the opening goal for Jordan Henderson before leading the break which saw Harry Kane double England’s lead on the stroke of half-time. Bukayo Saka’s third of the tournament wrapped up a routine victory to set up a last-eight clash against the reigning world champions next Saturday.
