Speaking on ITV’s Good Morning Britain (22/6/21 8:30AM), former England goalkeeper David Seaman has been waxing-lyrical about reported Liverpool target Jude Bellingham.

Bellingham has been making headlines after becoming the youngest player to ever appear for England at the European Championships, and Seaman has had plenty of good things to say about him.

The pundit says that Bellingham is incredible and that the hype surrounding him reminds him of a young Ryan Giggs.

What’s been said?

Seaman was speaking on Good Morning Britain about Bellingham.

“It is incredible. Everyone I speak to has such praise for Bellingham. It reminds me of a young Ryan Giggs when he first game onto the scene, everyone was talking about him, and if Jude has half the career Ryan had, he’s in for a great time,” Seaman said.

A young Giggs

It’s certainly interesting that Seaman has compared Bellingham to Giggs.

The pair aren’t very similar on the pitch, with Giggs being a winger and Bellingham being a midfielder, but in terms of the impact he’s making at such a young age, they’re comparable.

As Seaman says, if Bellingham has a career half as good as Giggs’ he will be one of the most decorated footballers in history, and if reports are to be believed, he could end up plying his trade at Liverpool in the near future.

Fingers crossed we get to see the England star strutting his stuff in the Premier League sooner rather than later.
