Richard Keys goes on rant about Jude Bellingham and names the England player who can affect games more than him

Richards Keys unleashed a passionate rant about Jude Bellingham and named the England player who can affect games more than the Real Madrid man.

Keys joined Andy Gray, Marcel Desailly, Joe Cole and Luis Garcia for beIN SPORTS' coverage for the Euro 2024 opener between Germany and Scotland on Friday.

And ahead of kick-off, Keys and the panel touched on England's chances as they begin their campaign on Sunday against Serbia.

The host shared his thoughts on Bellingham, who is set to be a hugely important player for the Three Lions this summer.

The 20-year-old enjoyed a stunning debut campaign at Real as he helped his side to a La Liga and Champions League double.

He scored an impressive 23 goals across all competitions last season.

But Keys is convinced Cole Palmer has had a bigger impact than Bellingham in the season just gone.

He reckons the Chelsea star affects games more and accused the ex-Birmingham City player of going missing in big games last season.

The 67-year-old challenged Bellingham to turn up for a crunch fixture, referencing games against France and matches in the Champions League.

He also claimed the Premier League is a more demanding competition than Spain's top flight

Gray, Cole and Garcia disagreed with Keys as they jumped to Bellingham's defence, hailing his campaign last season.

As for Palmer, he also enjoyed a sensational 2023/24 term as he bagged a superb 25 goals in all competitions following his move from Manchester City.
