When I was in the centre circle before the match, and I&#8217;m looking at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;When I was playing, he&#8217;d have been a big midfield player. I&#8217;d be a small midfielder player today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He&#8217;s got everything, that young boy. Absolutely everything. And, at 20 years old, how good can he be? He has that steady head on his shoulders and was outstanding tonight.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Souness also praised Bellingham&#8217;s teammate, James Maddison, who did not feature on Tuesday, admitting that he would like to see Southgate give the Spurs star more freedom.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I said it before the game, I still think they play with a handbrake on,&#8217; he continued. &#8216;I&#8217;m a fan of James Maddison\u00a0and his goals, he&#8217;s creative.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;When I see Bellingham, he can come on to stuff and do everything you want from a midfield player. But with Maddison&#8217;s goals and creative ability, you&#8217;ve got to utilise it as well.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The Three Lions come away from the international break with a draw and a win from their Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine and friendly versus Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>England&#8217;s stars will return to their club sides now as they look to push on this season and cement a place in next summer&#8217;s squad for the tournament in Germany.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12510973\/Graeme-Souness-England-Golden-Generation-Gareth-Southgate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graeme Souness insists England have a genuine &#8216;Golden Generation&#8217;
