Jody Morris has raved about the quality of Chelsea target Jude Bellingham, describing the Borussia Dortmund man as “technically gifted”.
Bellingham, 19, is an England international currently starring on the World Cup stage with England.
The teenage midfielder has already racked up 20 senior international caps for his country, which just highlights what a special talent he really is.
He’s definitely caught the eye in the England line-up after three consecutive starts in the group stages, which included his first World Cup goal in the win against Iran.
Technically gifted Jude Bellingham
Former Chelsea coach Jody Morris has waxed lyrical about Bellingham’s quality after watching him on the international stage.
In particular, he’s thinks the central midfielder is a superb technician that is really strong in all areas across the board.
When discussing Bellingham on Soccer AM, Morris said: “It’s scary when you think he’s 19. For me, he’s got everything.
“First and foremost he’s technically gifted. You can see, he can handle the ball. You see his maturity in the way he plays. You look at the size of him in the midfield and see the way he can move. His energy that he brings to the team and the passes that he sees. His all-round game is so polished for someone so young.”
Chelsea speculation
Journalist Matt Law has shared on the London is Blue podcast that Chelsea are ready to match any rival bidders when it comes to Bellingham’s transfer cost. The Blues are not considered favourites for his signature, though.
Most people will agree that the sky is the limit for Bellingham, whose reputation will only continue to grow if England go deep into the World Cup tournament in Qatar.
It’s frightening how mature and consistent he already looks on the biggest stage.
His ability to both attack and defend while covering so much ground across the pitch must be a manager’s dream.
Chelsea have had some great truly great central midfielders over the years and it would be fantastic to add Bellingham to that list.
