The Real Madrid sensation, 20, produced another majestic display for England on Tuesday night as Gareth Southgate’s men beat Italy 3-1 at Wembley.
It comes as Bellingham continues his remarkable start to the season in which he has immediately become the main man at the Bernabeu.
He has scored 10 goals and laid on three assists in his opening 10 games in Spain.

To which the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder simply replied: “We’ll see.”

He told Channel 4: “I’ve said since I arrived it’s a club I want to be at for the next 10 to 15 years of my life. I love the club.”
He then went on to explain what Los Blancos have given him since he joined.
Bellingham added: “When you’re around those type of mentalities and players with that quality every day – you see them in the gym; you see how they prepare for games, the analysis, the physio work they get done; you see the work on the pitch, how competitive some of the training sessions are – it just takes you to a new level technically.
