'The kid has got everything': Roy Keane compares Jude Bellingham to Paul Scholes after World Cup debut

Speaking on ITV, Roy Keane said: "Jude Bellingham, absolutely amazing, I think he is brilliant now. Absolutely brilliant, he's made a point there about adding more goals to his game at international level, he does score at club level.

"He plays with a maturity, he's got everything you want in a midfielder in the middle of the park in terms of his physique, his maturity, his decision making, his skill. This finish here [against Iran] is fantastic.

"You remember all the brilliant England midfielders over the years people like Bryan Robson, Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard.  If you can add to that to your game, that final bit of adding goals.

"As I said earlier I think he's a brilliant player anyway and this is a brilliant goal for England. In his interview afterwards he comes across as a really good kid, playing very mature. The kid has got everything."

Bellingham starred for England in the Three Lions' opening World Cup game earlier this week, scoring an opening goal in the 6–2 win against Iran.

The Manchester United-linked midfielder is expected to leave Borussia Dortmund next summer with Manchester City, Real Madrid and Liverpool interested as well.
