Gary Lineker makes confident prediction about Liverpool target Jude Bellingham’s future

Gary Lineker has tipped Jude Bellingham to become a future England captain.

The midfielder was part of the England team that suffered a 2-1 loss to France in the World Cup quarter-finals on Saturday night.

Aurélien Tchouamén and Oliver Giroud were on target for Les Blues. Harry Kane scored a penalty for the Three Lions and had a chance to equalise from the spot-kick for a second time - but blazed his effort over the bar.

Bellingham was certainly one of the stars of the tournament and further enhanced his burgeoning reputation.

The 19-year-old is a top transfer target for Liverpool ahead of next summer’s transfer window.

Bellingham has been tipped to achieve great things in his career and Lineker reckons he’ll captain his country.

The former Three Lions striker and Match of the Day presenter wrote on Twitter: “Without doubt, a future @England captain. Such an impressive young man, on and off the pitch.”
