Midfielder played with Bellingham in Birmingham youth teamsPage hopes ‘everybody’s talking about JJ’s Latvia performance’
Rob Page has tipped the Birmingham City teenager Jordan James to follow in the footsteps of his former club-mate Jude Bellingham and “go to the top” of the game. The 19-year-old excelled on his first competitive Wales start, Monday’s 2-0 victory in Latvia, and the manager said his emergence is a sign of the nation’s bright future.
James travelled to last year’s World Cup despite not being part of the 26-man squad and made his debut in Croatia at the start of this Euro 2024 qualifying campaign. The midfielder impressed on his first start in a friendly against South Korea last week and shone as Wales clinched a much-needed win in Riga.
