Bukayo Saka and Mason Mount praised Liverpool transfer target, Jude Bellingham, for his ‘serious’ showing on his England World Cup debut, as they posted on his Instagram.
Both Arsenal’s rising star and Chelsea’s quick-thinking playmaker started alongside Bellingham in Qatar as England beat Iran 6-2, with the Borussia Dortmund star opening the scoring and Saka netting a brace.
The elite clubs in Europe are waiting in the queue to sign Bellingham, either in January or next summer, and he proved why at the World Cup on Monday – Liverpool have been long-admirers of the player.
At 19-years-old, you can pay £100 million plus for Bellingham tomorrow, but still probably make a profit on the player down the line.
Nonetheless, after Bellingham’s showing in Qatar, he posted on Instagram that it was ‘another dream come true’ scoring on the World Cup stage.
Arsenal forward Saka posted in the comments section ‘serious man’, whilst Mount added ‘love it you’.
ENGLAND TAKE CHARGE OF GROUP B
The opening game of the World Cup is always the toughest, but England have breezed to three points here.
After USA and Wales’ score draw hours after England’s dominant win, then a win on Friday against the Americans should already put the Three Lions in the knockout stages.
It’s suggested that the likes of Holland, Senegal and/or France could await England in the knockout stages, but this will give Gareth Southgate’s side no end of confidence.
