Aston Villa midfield whiz Carney Chukwuemeka admits he draws inspiration from Borussia Dortmund ace Jude Bellingham.
Bellingham, formerly of Birmingham City, turned 19 years old this week and has already made 16 Champions League appearances, while he has five England caps.
Asked by Soccerbible if he is inspired by Bellingham's rise, Chukwuemeka responded: "Me and Jude have known each other for a few years. What he is doing now is inspiring me in a big way to do more.
"I'm particularly driven by him. I've felt how he can drive me and motivate me. I'd love to get into that position so that I can help show the next player what can be done.
"That's my goal really; I want to bring all the success I can home to England, to my family and to all who have helped me on my journey so far."
