The teenager, formerly of Birmingham City, clearly has the world at his feet if he can continue to progress as he has.
Bellingham looked superb for Dortmund in the season just gone, and he’s fully earned his chance to shine at Euro 2020 this summer.
England fans can be excited about watching Bellingham for years to come, as he joins other hugely promising young talents like Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka and Mason Greenwood coming through at the moment.
