As well as noting his athleticism, long legs and enormous feet while standing at 6ft 1in, his movement was called natural and graceful in the middle of the park.
Bellingham's runs off the ball and ability to keep hold of possession were a sign of things to come – as well as his possible over commitment into tackles which he swiftly toned down.
