Chelsea are known to be among Jude Bellingham's admirers, and they are unlikely to change their mind after England's 6-2 win over Iran.
When asked what impressed him the most about Bellingham's performance there, ex-Chelsea defender Frank Lebouef replied: "Everything. His commitment to the team. He does what he has to do and he does extra, that’s where you appreciate a player.
"He pleased me a lot during that game because I saw everything I want to see from a midfield player."
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder starred in that game, scoring the opener and producing an all-round performance.
Chelsea are behind the likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool in the race for the 19-year-old.
However, Todd Boehly is reported to have personally started laying the groundwork for the move by contacting the player's father and agent a few months ago.
