Top 5 Singing For Club World Cup 2025
Trent Alexander-Arnold
The England international Right back was officially unveiled on the 12th of June, his first official words as a Real Madrid player were in Spanish. It provoked the Liverpool fans but gladdened the Madrid stars, his immediate goal, he revealed, is to win the Club World Cup.
He joins Real Madrid on a free transfer, but the Merengues still parted with 10 million pounds as his contract with Liverpool does not expire until July, which would have meant his non-participation at the Club World Cup. New manager, Xabi Alonso, carved a reputation for improving his wingbacks like Grimaldo and Frimpong, and it is expected that Trent Alexander-Arnold’s numbers will significantly increase.
Notorious for his creativity, Real Madrid’s forward line is expected to have a field day with his services. As a right back, he will fill the vacuum created by the injury to Dani Carvajal while adding the balance in attack and defence sorely missed last season.
Dean Huijsen
Real Madrid ended the 2024-25 season with no fit defender as injuries ravaged the team. President Florentino Perez was swift in recruitment to plug the Madrid leaky defence with the acquisition of Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth for 50 million Pounds. He is expected to be an undisputed starter at the club with Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger, and Raul Asencio left to battle for the remaining spot.
At 20 years old, he is expected to become Real Madrid’s present and future, as much is expected of him at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
Liam Delap
The new Chelsea number 9’s signing was confirmed 4th of June and is stepping into big shoes at the club, and despite adorning the number 9 for the first time in his career, the England under-21 international seems unperturbed by the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of strikers like Diego Costa and Didier Drogba.
A youthful Chelsea side with an average age of 23.7 years, few expect them to win the Competition but manager Enzo Maresca earlier revealed his admiration for PSG, Luis Enrique’s work in the Champions League and believes Chelsea can attain a similar feat after the Conference League triumph just 3 weeks ago.
Liam Delap, alongside new additions like Andre Santos, Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr, will give Chelsea a special edge.
Jobe Bellingham
After achieving the Champions League goal, Borussia Dortmund shifted attention to the Club World Cup as a viable means of success following a disappointing 2024-25 campaign that yielded no laurels.
Jobe Bellingham finished on a high note with Sunderland’s promotion to the Premier League and was courted by sides in England. He eventually joined the Yellow and black on deadline day for 27 million pounds. He joined just in time and, just like his elder brother, Jude Bellingham, Jobe will look to hit the ground running by announcing himself at the Club World Cup stage.
Turning down offers in the Premier League to go abroad is never easy, but Jobe Bellingham has taken a difficult route that he believes will help improve his 7-goal contribution from last season, as he helped Sunderland gain promotion.
Tijjani Reijnders
Manchester City have spent over 100 million pounds on 3 players ahead of the commencement of the Club World Cup, but none could be more important than Tijjani Reijnders, who joins City at a time when long-serving creative midfielder, Kelvin De Bruyne, leaves the club.
The signing of the Dutch International, Reijnders, will help life after De Bruyne at the Club World Cup, knowing that Croatian Mateo Kovacic will also miss the tournament with an injury.
The best midfielder in Serie A for the 2024-25 season is expected to slot straight into the first eleven alongside the returning Rodri and Gundogan as City hopes to claim some silverware this season.
