Borussia Dortmund coach Terzic: Bellingham and West Ham midfielder Rice future of English football

Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic says England pair Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice are the future of English football.

Bellingham has been outstanding for BVB, while Rice is impressing at West Ham.

Terzic said: "Borussia Dortmund are well known for offering young talents the platform to play at the highest level. I think Jude is the oldest 19 year old I've ever seen. He is fantastic on and off the field. We are really happy with him. It's a win-win situation.

"Not only do we benefit from him, but Dortmund is also the right step for him in his development. Jude will have a big impact, not only tomorrow and for the rest of the season, but also with the England national team for the next few years.

"I have been fortunate to work with Declan Rice at West Ham and I believe they will both dominate English football, in terms of midfield positions, for the next decade."
