Jude Bellingham Makes History With His First International Goal for England at World Cup Against Iran

• Jude Bellingham scored his first international goal for England as he opened the scoring against Iran on November 21
• Bellingham became England's second-youngest scorer at the World Cup and the first player born in the 2000s to score
• Borussia Dortmund's valuation of Bellingham is expected to soar after the World Cup is completed next month

Just how much will Jude Bellingham be worth after the World Cup?

That’s what many are asking after the English youngster produced another performance to remember, this time at the FIFA World Cup.

As noted by SportBible, the Borussia Dortmund youngster goes into the tournament as the most valuable player.

He lived up to that tag as he was instrumental in England’s 6-2 victory over Iran, opening the scoring with a beautiful glancing header.

The goal was not only his first goal in the World Cup - it also made him England’s second-youngest goal scorer at the tournament behind only Michael Owen.

Bellingham is also the first player born after the year 2000 to score in the World Cup; a crazy stat to actually think about.

Bellingham’s stats from the game also showed that even though he only scored one goal, he was a big part of England’s midfield dominance.

Where next for Bellingham?

The Dortmund attacker’s future at the club is still in the air. Bellingham has been linked with moves to Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea, while his former Dortmund teammate, Erling Haaland also wants him to join him at Manchester City.

Madrid are said to be unwilling to pay Dortmund’s valuation of the player, but his showing at the World Cup could only make that valuation far higher come to the end of the tournament.

Club won't match Bellingham's valuation

Jude Bellingham’s future remains in doubt, even as his stock in football continues to grow.

The Borussia Dortmund youngster has been linked with a move away from the German club, but his biggest suitors seem to have pulled out of any deal.

Real Madrid are unwilling to pay Dortmund the £130 million that the Bundesliga club are asking for him, Sports Brief reported.
