Birmingham’s Jude Bellingham won the EFL Young Player of the Month for November this week. It is an award that has been won by players such as James Maddison, Tammy Abraham, Ryan Fraser and Dele Alli in the past. All of those players have gone on to become regular starters in the Premier League.
Birmingham fans reacted with enthusiasm when the club posted the news of Bellingham’s victory. They are hopeful that he can reach similar heights to that of Maddison, Abraham, Fraser and Alli. Many fans hope he can achieve it with Birmingham, but there are some fans who recognise that he may have to leave to achieve his full potential. They will wish him the best regardless and many of them took to the teenager’s Twitter post to share their praise.
So well deserved. What a star you’ll be in the future. Keep up the great work! #kro #bcfc

Well done Jude. Well deserved. Hopefully you can inspire the team to a Boxing Day win at Blackburn.

Congratulations Jude, you have a maturity in your play well beyond your years. Having 2 excellent feet helps too. Keep the same passion in your game. You are loved at Blues and it’s an honour to watch you play.

Literally give him a blank contract. Let him fill in any numbers he wants. Then sign it.

Will Jude Bellingham have a successful Premier League career?
Yes
No
Others don’t think Bellingham should leave, however. They plead with him to stay at the club.
I’ve seen that Man Utd and Bayern Munich are desperate for your skills I’m not at all surprised but I would say that you would only play a handful of games which is not what you like Well deserved award Jude for you ! KRO

What do we think?
While there have been plenty of EFL Young Player of the Month winners to go on and have successful careers, there are still just as many who haven’t hit their potential. Bellingham can’t lose focus now if he wants to reach his full potential.
