Bellingham has been in excellent form since joining Real Madrid in the close season transfer window, scoring 10 goals in his first ten appearances for his new club in all competitions.
Kieran Trippier, England’s defender, believes Jude Bellingham might bring the spark the team requires ahead of a Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy.
Bellingham has been in excellent form since joining Real Madrid in the close season transfer window, scoring ten goals in his first ten appearances for his new club in all competitions.
“He can be the difference,” Trippier told reporters. “At such a young age, with the maturity, the quality and the aggression he’s got, he’s frightening. It’s not a surprise at all, the standards that he’s set in Madrid.
“You can see he’s playing with freedom and the players around him are going to make him even better. The scary thing is he’s only 20 years old.”
Trippier went on to declare that England have taken “massive steps” since the 2018 World Cup, adding, “We lost in the Euros final, but the most important thing is we’re progressing and doing very well.”
“We’ve got goals from all over the pitch and Jude, Madders (James Maddison), Bukayo (Saka), Phil (Foden) are still young but can all change games in certain moments.”
Trippier also backed teammate Jordan Henderson, who was booed by England fans following his move to Saudi Arabian club Al Ettifaq following Friday’s 1-0 friendly win over Australia.
“For us as players, we stick together,” Trippier added.
