England's Bellingham, 20, won the Kopa Trophy for the world's best player aged under 21 in Paris.

Kylian Mbappe is next in the betting at 4/1.

But another excellent campaign with Paris Saint-Germain and France at next summer's European Championships in Germany could propel him to Ballon d'Or glory.
