Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has lauded England teammate Jude Bellingham ahead of the start of the World Cup in Qatar, suggesting that the Borussia Dortmund man is ‘unbelievable’. United defender Shaw is also part of England’s 26-man group, and the left-back was keen to name Bellingham when asked which Three Lions player excites him the most right now.
Appearing on the England YouTube channel as part of the Lion’s Den show,
Luke Shaw said: “I could pick anyone in the England team… this is so hard. I think the one for me is who I have been like most surprised about is when he first got involved, was Jude. He’s so young now but the talent he possesses is unbelievable, he is unbelievable. He can do everything in that middle, he can drive with the ball, he’s aggressive, he is unbelievable. Over the past couple of years being in the squad with him, he has always had the talent, but he is starting to gain the experience and he’s becoming more into a man. He’s captaining his club and the steps his taking are leading him in the right direction. He’s an unbelievable player and will be a very big part of this England squad and the success we have in the coming years.”
Bellingham has made 22 appearances for Dortmund so far this season, registering nine goals and three assists, while also captaining the side on a number of occasions.
