Jude Bellingham has said that the biggest dream of his footballing career is to captain the England national football team.
Jude Bellingham is one of the most exciting young talents in the world of football and has already established himself as a key player for both Borussia Dortmund and England’s national football team.
He has already attracted transfer interest from a number of top European clubs ahead of the summer transfer window. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool have all been linked with a move for the highly-rated midfielder.
The 19-year-old has now revealed the biggest dream of his footballing career, and that is to captain the England national football. He believes captaining the country’s national team is the biggest honour in football.

“That would be the biggest dream and the biggest honour in football, I think, is to captain your country,” Jude Bellingham said after England defeated Ukraine 2-0 in their most recent fixture.
“There’s a long pecking order that I highly respect and I’ll wait my turn. In the meantime, it’s picking up what I can learn from [more senior players]. This is the best place to do it.”
Jude Bellingham has already previously captained Borussia Dortmund, the club he currently plays for. But he will likely have to wait for longer to wear the armband of England’s national football team.
Harry Kane is the current captain of England’s national football team. Kane is 29 years old and looks like he could continue at the highest level for many more years.
Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham made his debut for England national football team in 2020. He has so far made 24 appearances for the Three Lions. He also featured for England at FIFA World Cup 2022 and was impressive for the team in Qatar.
As aforementioned, Jude Bellingham has attracted interest from a number of top European clubs and could be on the move in the summer. Borussia Dortmund would like to keep hold of the midfielder beyond the current campaign. It remains to be seen what decision Bellingham takes with regards to his future.
