Jude Bellingham posted on his Instagram story ‘back with the boys’ as he was pictured alongside Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and Leicester City midfielder, James Maddison on England duty.
Arsenal’s number one responded to that post on his own Instagram story by simply stating ‘thriving’.
Domestic football will take a backward step for the next ten or so days, as international football, for the first time since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, returns to action.
On the agenda is trying to qualify for Euro 2024, which will take place in Germany, with Roberto Mancini’s Italy, who beat England in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley, looking to retain their crown.
All three of Ramsdale, Bellingham and Maddison are expected to feature heavily for Gareth Southgate during the next 18 or so months, as it will also be interesting where the latter two end up in the summer.
There is heavy talk that Bellingham could be Premier League bound during the summer transfer market, with the 19-year-old continuing to thrive at Borussia Dortmund.
Whilst Maddison is a transfer target for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, in the meantime, his task is to keep Leicester in the Premier League.
Nonetheless, this is what Bellingham uploaded to his IG story.
WHO WILL SIGN MADDISON?
The Leicester star’s contract at the King Power will have 12 months left to run in the summer and he has to make a call on his future.
It’s looking likely that he will leave, but will interested party Arsenal put in a bid for the Foxes man? Yes, they have Martin Odegaard, but upon their return to Champions League for next season, that squad needs bulking up.
Added to that, Maddison would be an upgrade on Emile Smith Rowe and summer capture, Fabio Vieira, who is still taking time to settle in, so from that perspective, the all-action Englishman is worth keeping an eye on.
