World Cup 2026 England Squad Prospects: Jobe Bellingham at 8/1 Odds Given Despite Borussia Dortmund Transfer
With the 2026 World Cup just around the corner, the buzz is all about the English players who might earn a spot in the coveted squad.
England had a strong showing in the previous tournament, making it to the quarter-finals only to lose to France. The squad is set for a revamp, as new talents climb the ranks to secure their positions in Thomas Tuchel's selection[1].
One name to watch out for right now is Jobe Bellingham. Despite his impending move to Borussia Dortmund, he's still an outsider at 8/1 to make the team[2].
The Sunderland midfielder was a cornerstone in their play-off campaign, making 43 appearances and scoring four while assisting three[2]. Dortmund proved to be an excellent fit for Bellingham's brother, Jude, who played 92 times for the club between 2020 and 2023[2]. Now, Dortmund are set to invest in Jobe with an initial £27.8 million fee[2].
Footballers across Europe's top leagues have the chance to ignite discussions of their inclusion in the 2023 World Cup squad, if they shine in their respective domestic competitions. Players like Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, and Bukayo Saka are already heavy favorites to make the final cut[2]. Their previous tournament experiences coupled with their club successes make it unlikely they won't make the squad[2].
Liam Delap's recent signing for Chelsea opens up a potential spot for him in the England squad, especially if he delivers for the Blues[2]. The English forward is just 4/1 to make the team, as is Ollie Watkins, who impressed during the Euros[3].
