When ‘sensational’ Jude Bellingham could become England’s GOAT as ex-Real Madrid & Three Lions star Michael Owen agrees with Roy Keane’s assessment

Asked if he shares that belief, Golden Ball winner Owen – who was speaking exclusively to GOAL courtesy of Tonybet sportsbook – said: “He’s sensational, isn’t he? Absolutely. He’s got something pretty special – the physique of him, the running ability, the skill, the mindset.

“He rises to the big occasion. He scores goals, important goals. He’s got that class about him. And he’s obviously playing at the highest level consistently, so that’ll keep him at that level.

“I couldn’t disagree. I think we’re looking in the current squad at two of the all-time greats in [Harry] Kane and Bellingham. And in terms of the quality of Bellingham, he’s just a brilliant player.

“He’s a match winner, he’s a game changer. And if he continues like he is, then I don’t disagree with Roy Keane. I think we could be talking in five, six years about the most influential or talented or best player ever for England, potentially, yeah.”
