Harry Kane has heaped praise on Jude Bellingham, describing the midfielder as "very versatile" following England's 2-0 victory over Panama that secured top spot in Group L at the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Bellingham was central to England's win, both scoring and setting up a goal for Kane — a performance that underlined his ability to influence matches when given the freedom to "attack the game," according to the England captain.

Kane highlighted how Bellingham thrives when afforded space and licence to drive forward, suggesting that the midfielder's flexibility makes him one of the most dangerous players in the squad when conditions suit his style.

The result confirmed England as Group L winners, setting up a knockout-stage run as one of the tournament's more complete sides so far.
