Jude Bellingham is real good. Which is great, unless you're the poor sod who's been the Premier League's best player this season in what is now his spot.
Controversial as ever, we’re going to start off here with a bold claim. You know Jude Bellingham? Yeah? He’s good, we reckon.
If he were to suddenly plateau now and never get any better than he is at this moment, he would still be England’s most important footballer of the next decade. There is no evidence he is about to plateau. And Bellingham has been so ridiculously good, and so adept at getting the very best out of Kane, shoved further forward into his Real Madrid number 10 role that something quite curious has now occurred.
Maddison has a very decent case for being the best player in the Premier League so far this season – he’s certainly taken his already impressive game to an even higher level since his move to Tottenham – but he is not as good as Bellingham. Vanishingly few players currently are. On paper, it definitely looks better. Because you’ve suddenly got three excellent players in there, all doing roles they’re expert at, and all currently playing the best football of their careers. Rather than including a player who is playing almost no football at all.
Bellingham further forward is also bad news for Phil Foden’s starting prospects, but he has the consolation at least of being capable of playing any of the three positions behind and around Kane, and is probably first reserve in at least the two wide ones.
