Jude Bellingham

"I probably never had that power and that strength until probably 22 or 23, so he’s definitely more physically developed than me.

Steven Gerrard was impressed with Jude Bellingham's performance for England against Ukraine at Wembley on Sunday.

"Well, for one he’s got a better body than what I had at 19, no seriously, I probably never had that power and that strength until probably 22 or 23, so he’s definitely more physically developed than me. There’s definitely so much I’ve got to learn, the way I want to be as a midfielder is someone that can win you the game at two ends of the pitch, you know, in the middle to dominate the game as a six, as an eight, and as a 10 create chances as well. I’ve always wanted to be someone that can do a bit of everything, I think I’ve still got so much to learn but you have the best chance with the guys in that changing room there and the one I’ve got at Dortmund. I’ve definitely said it multiple times I’ve looked up to you so it’s a pleasure to be stood here." Maybe I’m missing out on a few attacks here and there, I always get a sense for where the ball is gonna land and I feel like today I could have done a little bit better, to be honest. You know, where the ball’s gonna drop and what teammates I’m playing with, where they’re gonna put the ball, so when I’m playing I’m probably thinking about a million different things of where I can be better." The teenager is currently enjoying being deployed in an attacking midfield role behind Harry Kane, while Declan Rice and Jordan Henderson keep the engine room ticking over behind him. Do you still think you can get better and better?" "Don’t get me wrong, I got to where I wanted to get to and he’ll naturally get to where he wants to if he keeps on doing what he’s doing, but he’s in a fantastic place and everything else around him he just needs to park it up and keep playing well and everything else will take care of itself." [Gerrard ](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc)asked: "How much do you think you’ve got to go? He said: "At Dortmund a lot of it I’m probably involved in the build-up a lot more, I enjoy that as well but it means I can’t be as creative in the top third. I’m like a sponge, to be honest with you, I just want to take anything in, any chance I get to learn about the game."

Jude Bellingham hinted at why he could snub Liverpool for a Manchester United transfer after England's win over Ukraine.

Liverpool could shortlist some Jude Bellingham alternatives should they fail to sign the Borussia Dortmund ace.

He is in a wonderful place." “He made a very good step ahead, taking confidence, scoring his goal and trying to use his characteristic in the position we are putting him - driving, driving, breaking the lines defensively. He is a top talent, I’m loving every moment of working with him. A fee for the latter is likely to exceed £100m, though. In [Aston Villa](/latest/aston-villa-fc) starlet Aaron Ramsey, the Reds would have a much cheaper version of the in-demand Borussia Dortmund talent, and a player who is loved by club icon Steven Gerrard. I think potentially he is a strong player in our squad who can progress a lot,” Unai Emery recently said of Villa’s brightest prospect.
