Roy Keane has praised England midfielder Jude Bellingham, suggesting he is on track to become one of the greatest players in football history. This follows Bellingham's standout performance in England's 7-0 victory over Croatia.
Why it matters
Bellingham is currently one of the most high-profile young athletes in global football, and his performance trajectory significantly impacts the market value and success of Real Madrid and the England national team.
Roy Keane has tipped Jude Bellingham to become "one of the greatest players of all time" after the England midfielder was instrumental in their 7-0 demolition of Croatia .
Bellingham scored one and assisted three in Rijeka as the Three Lions dealt Croatia, an international rival of the past decade, their heaviest ever defeat.
The Real Madrid man became the first midfielder to record four goal involvements for England in a single match since David Platt scored four against San Marino in February 1993.
An astounding performance, Keane believes the 23-year-old is on course to go down as not just one of the best of a generation, but in football history.
