Jude Bellingham took centre stage for England in their routine 3-0 win over the Ivory Coast at Wembley last ni𒀰ght.

He played as the most advanced of the Three Lions’ midfield ✨trio and w🌟as a constant menace all night in the friendly win.

A🥂fter the game, manager Gareth Southgate and teammate Jack Grealish praised the Borussia Dortmund midfielder on .

When asked what he thought of Bellingham’s night, Southgat💯e said: “Very good. We had him pressing as a ten and then he was able to link a bit lower with the ball.

“He showed some lovely moments, some super link play. He’s a powerful runner w𒈔ith and without the ball. He presses well for the team. He should be really proud of his night.”

Grealish 🐼added: “He could play anywhere. Honestl🌌y. He could play as a six, or an eight or as a ten – he’s that good.

“I know when I watched a few of his games for Dortmun🅘d, he’s been 𝐆brilliant in every position. I think that just shows how talented he is.”

Jurgen Klopp is pushing Liverpool pers💞onally to sign Bellingham in the summer of 202ꦉ3.

The Englishman seems unlikely to leave this summer beca꧒use Dort🐓mund tend to only sell one big star every summer.

This time around, it looks like being Erling Haaland, who has an active release clause at a time when p🥃lenty of Europe’s top clubs need a 𒁏striker.

Then, it could well be Bellingham’s turn ജthe following year, by which tiꦗme he could be a World Cup winner with England…
