Jude Bellingham and England
25 September 2026
Jude Bellingham has been voted England men’s player of the year for a second consecutive season. The Real Madrid midfielder won the supporter vote after scoring seven times at the 2026 World Cup and helping England finish third.
Bellingham became the first Englishman to score seven goals at a single World Cup and is now second only to Wayne Rooney for total wins of the national-team award. Harry Kane was separately recognised as England’s leading scorer for a seventh straight season.
