Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins believes England teammate Jude Bellingham has done enough to win this year’s Ballon d’Or award.
He made this known on the backdrop of his impressive display for the team at the ongoing Euro 2024.
Recall that England will battle Spain in the final on Sunday.
However, Watkins in a chat with TribalFootball, stated that Bellingham should be awarded the Ballon d’Or.
“Whatever happens, Jude should win the Ballon d’Or.
“The way he’s played, he plays with such maturity, confidence, aura.
“I can’t speak any more highly of him to be honest. To see him transition from where he was – obviously I played against him at Birmingham and even the way he played then you’d have thought he was a seasoned pro.
“I’ve played a number of games (with him) and I remember being in one of the camps, one of my earlier camps, I think he was 16 at the time and he still had confidence about him. It’s no surprise really to see what he’s gone on and done,”
