Former Manchester City defender, Joleon Lescott, has made a bold proclamation by anointing England and Real Madrid sensation Jude Bellingham as the world's premier player.
The 20-year-old midfield maestro has commenced the season in electrifying fashion, steering Real Madrid to the summit of La Liga, surpassing fierce competitors Barcelona and Girona. Jude Bellingham, who made a high-profile switch from Borussia Dortmund to the Santiago Bernabeu during the summer transfer window, has left an indelible mark on the team. He has tallied an impressive ten goals and three assists in just as many games across various competitions.
Lescott, unreservedly praising Jude Bellingham, asserted, "He's [Jude Bellingham] the best player in the world right now... He's carrying himself well and delivering on the pitch. He understands the game at a level he shouldn't at his age. Long may it continue for himself and England because he could win the Ballon d'Or, and that would be a huge thing for England."
Furthermore, Lescott emphasized Jude Bellingham's crucial role in the future of the English national team, which aspires to achieve success on the international stage, be it in the Euros or the World Cup. England has encountered several near misses in recent years but has yet to secure a major tournament victory.
Jude Bellingham is currently representing the English national side, gearing up for their Euro qualifier encounter against Italy at the illustrious Wembley Stadium. The young midfielder's meteoric rise to prominence continues to captivate football enthusiasts and experts alike.
