Former England defender, Jamie Carragher has hailed Borussia Dortmund midfielder as the ‘prototype modern midfielder’ following his performances at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar so far.
Bellingham has been a mainstay in the Three Lions of England midfield at the ongoing World Cup and has been impactful in all the games.
In his column for the Telegraph Carragher extolled the virtues of the 19 year old prodigy.
“Like Owen and Rooney, Bellingham has established himself in the England team as a fearless teenager,” Carragher said.
“With every performance in this tournament, Bellingham has oozed the same confidence, transforming the team and catching the public imagination.
“It is frightening how good Bellingham is. If you were to build the prototype modern midfielder, he would be it. Bellingham is not only an England superstar now, he is three more wins from becoming a World Cup legend.”
Bellingham has played four games at Qatar 2022 so far yielding one goal and one assist.
The Three Lions will square off against France for a place in the semi final on the 10th of December at the Al Bayt Stadium after defeating Senegal 3-0 in the round of 16.
England hosted the FIFA World Cup in 1966 and won the trophy.
