  He has found the target on 14 occasions across all competitions this season, with his latest seeing him stick his tongue out and point out that “the tongue is back”. That reference is considered to be a tease for the latest offering in the iconic Predator range that is being released by adidas.

  Bellingham’s England colleague, Trent Alexander-Arnold, is back on the books at adidas after agreeing a lucrative sponsorship deal and has already given the new Predators a run out. They do feature the overlapping tongue that made them so famous when the likes of David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane were wearing them around the turn of the millennium.

  WHAT NEXT FOR BELLINGHAM?

  Bellingham will be hoping that there are many more celebrations to come once he takes ownership of his own pair of Predators, with the talented 20-year-old also being lined up for an endorsement deal with French fashion house Louis Vuitton.
