Jude Bellingham continues to impress for England at this World Cup, with the Borussia Dortmund midfielder putting in another supreme display during England's 3-0 win over Senegal in the Round of 16.
In light of that, Sportsmail's Chris Sutton explains what makes England's next great footballing hope so special and why he is backing Bellingham to reach the very top.
When Birmingham City retired the No 22 shirt in honour of Jude Bellingham in July 2020, the Championship club were mocked.
‘This is one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen in football,’ said one supporter on social media. ‘The game’s gone mad,’ said another. ‘Tinpot,’ another.
No one is laughing now. Birmingham saw something special in this teenage midfielder. Now we’re all seeing it, and England’s second goal against Senegal epitomised what Bellingham is about.
