"What a player. Honestly, England are lucky to have him … and he's one of the best players in the tournament,” said the PSG president.

"Amazing and you see his first World Cup - calm and relaxed and confident."

When asked about a potential move for Bellingham, he said: "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."

Bellingham has been one of the standout stars for England in Qatar, with one goal and one assist to his name so far in four games.

The Three Lions face France in the quarter-finals next on Saturday. 

Bellingham, who is valued at €100m by Transfermarkt (opens in new tab), has a contract until 2025 with Dortmund.
