No. 10 City have just one goal and yet to register an assist for their team this term, while Bellingham have been in fine form both in the Bundesliga and in Europe, where they have nine goals and three assists.
He has started all of England’s group stage matches at the World Cup in Qatar and is one of the best prospects in European soccer right now.
