Real Madrid and Liverpool are two of the favourites gunning for Jude Bellingham, with reports claiming that Borussia Dortmund may demand over £100m for his signature.

However, Bellingham has said he isn’t moved by money, while claiming that his father is his inspiration.

Speaking with England’s official YouTube channel on Tuesday, he said: “Who inspired me? My dad played a lot of Saturday league, so obviously non-league football and I used to go a lot to watch him play and I just loved going to see him.

“I watched him play and he scored a lot. I always liked the way he always made other people happy.

“I would sit in the stands and people would always talk about the goals he scored, this goal or that goal against this team and that was always nice to hear, you know. Beyond the money and all of that rubbish, that’s the feeling I want from football. I want to win as much as possible and make people enjoy watching me and hopefully, I am doing that.

“What advice would I give my younger self? Just to keep smiling, keep listening and keep trying to be better every day. They are the three things I take into football. When I am a bit angry, a bit tense or a bit frustrated, I feel a little bit disconnected from the game at times. When I am happy, there’s a time to be serious and you can always manage the two but when I am at peace and chilled, that’s the time when you see a side that is more free on the pitch.

“Keep listening. I had people around me like Mike Dodds, Christian Speakman, Karl Hooper, Steve Spooner, these guys from the Birmingham City academy. And all the coaches and managers I’ve had since, these guys know what they are doing and know how to make players. So, I’d tell myself just to keep listening.

“You can always get better, I challenge myself every day to be a better football player, whether it is in the gym, the pitch or diet-wise, anything like that. It’s just about doing as much as possible to be as best you can.”
