It says everything about Jude Bellingham that, at just 17, he decided to live and work in a high-pressure environment in a foreign country.
Although many footballers move countries at that age and younger, it is still relatively unusual for British players to do so. Yet such is Bellingham’s maturity that he swapped Birmingham City for Borussia Dortmund, swapped English for German, swapped familiarity for the unknown.
Having taken that step, making his first senior international appearance should be a walk in the park by comparison. Called up for the first time, Bellingham could become England’s third-youngest debutant if he figures against Ireland on Thursday.
