Former England captain Wayne Rooney has made a bold claim Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham.
Bellingham enjoyed a sensational first season in Madrid, as Los Blancos stormed to a The League and the double UEFA Champions League, at the end of 2023/24.
Despite the injury issues, Bellingham has played a crucial role, and remains vital to their push for success this season.
After missing September's UEFA Nations League wins over the Republic of Ireland and Finland, Bellingham has been recalled by Lee Carsley as the Three Lions face Greece and Finland in the coming days.
Rooney was talking about who is the best player on Carsley's talented options panel, and he believes Bellingham is behind it. Manchester City attacker Phil Foden.
“For me the best is Phil Foden. I know he hasn't played much this season at Man City, but at his best, he's the best player in England,” as quoted by Talksport.
“Cole Palmer has been sensational since leaving for Chelsea, and you can also talk about everything Jude Bellingham is doing at Real Madrid, but for me it's Foden.“
Bellingham is not expected to play full games for England in the October window as his playing time is managed, but he will be keen to regain his starting place in Carsley's plans.
