"Thomas Tuchel might have a little selection problem when he resumes fully as England national team coach in January," he said.
"The likes of Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, and Phil Foden all play the same position and most likely deserve to play, but it has shown in recent games that they can't play together simultaneously.
"I feel Tuchel needs to build the team around Bellingham as he's best suited for his game.
"The Real Madrid man thick all the boxes as a midfielder and offers more defensive ability.
"Tonight's match against Ireland shows how Bellingham is a completely packaged midfielder; if utilised properly, he can win you trophies."

The Three Lions have been promoted back to League A of the UEFA Nations League, but their first match under the German boss will be World Cup qualifiers in January.
