THE BIGGER PICTURE
Bellingham has, arguably, gone onto become a world-class talent – five years after leaving Birmingham City for Borussia Dortmund. He helped Real Madrid win a La Liga and Champions League double and the midfielder is trying to help England win the Euros and end their international tournament hoodoo. Going by these messages, the 21-year-old is clearly an admired and well-respected individual.
