Unlikely, he’ll have lifted the World Cup days before it, give him a break!

Rumors that Musah from the US team has been contacted by Liverpool and Chelsea. I’m gonna be sick if he ends up at either one
Hope for his sake he can summon up some of his not inconsiderable ability and still have a good run somewhere. I remember seeing him talking with Mourinho in that documentary and thinking that, although he listened politely, he had already checked out. Sometimes things come too easily early on.
I really like Parades too
So, how did this superstar Bellingham get on against France?
Least number of touches outside of our forwards.
Least number of passes outside of our forwards.
Highest loss of possession.
Anyone paying 80m+ is paying for potential; not a finished product. Like many young players before him, he could have already hit his ceiling.
Smart money would be on Declan Rice.
looks a decent player bellingham but the hype is ridiculous. i dont see a big star in the making. a decent player no doubt but he aint the next big thing in midfield. rice a better player for sure.
like you say some of these players can fade out quite quick, i dont see any sheer raw ability from bellingham that makes you go wow! hes a steady midfielder. he also looks like hes labouring just running about, hes only 19, should be gliding about that pitch at that age.
hes got as much chance of winning a ballon dor as dean marney had of being the next steven gerrard.....
How did superstar Mbappe get on against England?
Forgot to add, 78% pass completion rate. The lowest of every player on the pitch except Kane.
Naaa mate, think he gassed, did huge supportive work whilst France on top then didn’t have the fuel later in game.
Think same happened against USA.
He’s a monster already, just needs tweaking on energy expenditure.
Bellingham is class
Funny thing is the player that Bellingham reminds me most of is the 19-year-old Jenas at Newcastle where he looked like a world beater in the making. Positional changes, injuries, a general loss of belief in himself saw Jenas just fade away as a force.

Agree. He needs to learn to get go backwards and play slowly in order to get his passing stats up. Stop tying to score goals and take risks, but instead tap the ball to and from Luke Shaw and Declan Rice 20 times a game
It's not often I agree with you Zomb, but you're bang on here.
Stats are a great indicator but, same as with everything else, they need to be taken as a whole and in context.
The more adventurous players will always have lower passing stats and higher ball losses because they take risks.
You also have to take into account the fact that he's still a bloody teenager!
Honestly, there's people on here who seem to think that because he's touted as a huge talent, then they should be seeing prime Zidane.
Typical English, the only thing we enjoy more than building a player up, is knocking them down.
Real Madrid and Liverpool have been keeping tabs on Enzo Fernandez for a minute apparently.
If someone is trying more attacking passes, they will automatically have a poorer completion rate than the more safety first players.
True. However, all but 4 of his 45 passes were short passes; and only 1/3rd of the passes was forward.
Doesn't Bellingham qualify as Home-Grown for English clubs? There's definitely a premium that will be paid for him based on his nationality, especially within the Premiership.
