At the age of 19, Bellingham has established himself as a staple for England and Borussia Dortmund.
Jude Bellingham, a 17-year-old from England who wants to win it all, claims that the trajectory of his career is proof that everything is possible.
The 19-year-old midfielder's unstoppable climb from local hero with Birmingham to youthful star at German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund shows few signs of slowing down.
Few players in the world of football are as exciting as Bellingham, who has already cemented himself as an important member of trophy-hungry England and was awarded Bundesliga Player of the Year despite almost missing out on the league title.
According to Bellingham, "winning has always been the objective." "Winning everything is one of my top gaming goals, if you must know. I don't hesitate to express that either.
"I feel that everyone should have that objective as professional footballers, you know.
"I'll try my hardest to make it happen, but if it doesn't, it won't be for lack of effort on my part.
However, I would agree that trophies excite me more than records and other things, therefore I believe that is my ultimate aim.
Bellingham, who was speaking prior to the Bundesliga's championship game, is aware that personal accolades and records may well emerge over time; in fact, his England teammates frequently joke that, with 24 appearances under his belt, he may soon surpass Peter Shilton's 125-cap record.
But as he strives to maximize his potential and possibilities, accomplishments like those are in the back of his mind.
"Football's my life, really," said Bellingham, who serves as the ambassador for the McDonald's Fun Football initiative, which offers free, inclusive football coaching to kids ages five to 11 in more than 1,500 venues throughout the UK. Bellingham hopes to inspire the next generation through this initiative.
"I believe I've invested too much in it thus far to simply stop and acknowledge that I'm only going to play at a particular level and achieve a certain amount of success.
Therefore, I believe that my parents and the people in my immediate vicinity have always instilled in me a go-after-everything mentality.
He has limited opportunity to reflect on his career, something he wishes to do with family and friends this summer, because of that mindset and his fast-paced path to date.
In regards to moving to Dortmund in 2020, Bellingham remarked, "There are things I had to deal with as part of German living.
