Transfer: I was wrong – Michael Owen makes U-turn on England star


Michael Owen has said that he was wrong in his assessment of Borussia Dortmund midfielder, Jude Bellingham.

Bellingham is targeted by Owen’s former club Liverpool this January following the 19-year-old’s imperious performance at the World Cup.

The young midfielder earned plaudits for his performances despite the Three Lions crashing out of the tournament in the quarter-finals.

And speaking to Telegraph, the former Manchester United striker admitted that he was incorrect about the player.

“He does almost too much, and at first I thought ‘Jeez Jude, you’re wasting energy covering too much ground because of your inexperience’.

“I was wrong; the more I watch him, I love the way he plays. A lot of people, when they become very good, it almost becomes uncool to do the hard yards and the stuff you don’t really get loads of praise (for),” he said.

Chelsea and Real Madrid are also interested in signing the 19-year-old from Borussia Dortmund.
