He has played a key role for England so far in Qatar, starting all three of their group matches and scoring his first international goal in the opening win over Iran. Everton defender Conor Coady recently revealed how Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has become like a father figure to Bellingham.

Coady told the Lions' Den: “He looks after Jude like there is no tomorrow. Jude is a young lad, sometimes we forget that because he is so mature and a fantastic footballer.

"He said something the other day about his mum making his bed, no word of a lie. We are talking about Jude Bellingham here, one of the best players in the world, and Hendo sat up at dinner and went 'What?’ and Jude went ‘Yeah, my mum makes my bed’, so Hendo is battering him. I would say someone like Henderson and [Kyle] Walker set the example."
