Chelsea legend John Terry has praised England World Cup star and Chelsea transfer target Jude Bellingham following his performances for England at the World Cup.

According to Terry, Bellingham deserves the hype he’s getting at the World Cup following his impressive performances at the tournament.

Terry said (via The Boot Room):

“He deserves the hype. He’s shown great experience for someone so young, and I think it shows the kind of character he is leaving the UK to go and play in Germany.

“To do what he’s done at such a young age is a big thing for a young man to do. He deserves the credit; he deserves the hype, because he’s been fantastic.”

Terry continued: “What’s he 19? And now he’s playing in a World Cup, performing, scoring goals. He’s showing the maturity of a big player like a Steven Gerrard, who I know is his idol. It’s great to see.”

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has confirmed the French club’s interest in signing Bellingham.

PSG chief Al-Khelaifi has been hugely impressed by his displays in Qatar and has revealed that he is on the Ligue 1 club’s transfer radar.

“Amazing and you see his first World Cup – calm and relaxed and confident. Everyone wants him. I’m not going to hide it. But I respect he’s in his club and, respect if we want to talk to him, we talk to the club first,” he stated to Sky Sports news.
