Gerrard Declares Himself Massive Fan Of Bellingham

Bellingham is set to play a key role for England in the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar after being named in Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad.

Bellingham's stock continues to rise astronomically after a bright start to the season for Dortmund.

The former Birmingham City midfielder has scored nine goals and provided three assists in 22 appearances across all competitions this term and has recently been made one of his side's deputy captains despite being just 19 years of age.

While assessing England's chances in Qatar, Gerrard reserved special praise for Bellingham and believes he can dominate the Three Lions midfield for years to come.

"The tournament is going to be littered with high-class players," Gerrard stated, speaking at Hyundai's Goal of the Century sustainability campaign. 

"Jude, I'm a massive fan of his. I think in the next 10 to 15 years, he's going to become an England superstar.

"I love the midfield area now with [his] introduction. I really like our front half. I think the big challenge for England is whether we can find the right personnel and find the right partnerships in defence."

"I think the difference between them succeeding or not will be whether they lean on previous experience," he added. 

"They should have a lot of confidence from [being close at] the Euros.

"I think England are one of four or five teams who can win this World Cup. That's not false belief or hope. There are enough games for us to build confidence and belief, and anything can happen from there."
