Unifying a previously divided squad has been one of Gareth Southgate’s greatest achievements since taking over as England manager eight years ago. The English ‘Golden Generation’ of the 2000s has acknowledged on numerous occasions that there existed cliques within the group when they joined, with club allegiances impeding the development of team spirit.

That is no longer a problem for the Three Lions because it seems like everyone is playing from the same sheet, especially in the instance of Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s developing bromance.

The two have been inseparable at the Euros and their bond is only getting stronger off the pitch. Bellingham has reportedly been linked to Dutch influencer Laura Celia Valk, 25, while Alexander-Arnold, 25, is dating British actor Jude Law’s daughter, Iris, 23. Both have been linked to model girlfriends.

They started together in England’s midfield for their opening game of Euro 2024 against Serbia on Sunday, and Bellingham proved to be the star of the show as he netted the only goal to hand his side all three points.

After nodding home Bukayo Saka’s cross from close range, Bellingham, 20, peeled away and celebrated with his team-mates.

As the rest of the players jogged back for the restart, Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold stayed behind to unveil their new joint-celebration. Both me𝚗 got down on one knee as they covered their faces with their hands. Bellingham later explained that this was a reference to the game of Wolf – or Werewоlf as it is also known – a popular pastime within the England squad.

It is a card game that requires deception and strategic thinking, and is based on a role-playing game centered on deduction called Mafia created by Dimitry Davidoff in 1986, and is believed to have had a hand in inspiring the Һit BBC one show The Traitors.

Bellingham told the BBC: ‘When we play Wolf, one of the staff loves that face when he doesn’t have a clue what is going on so that was a little group celebration for the Wolf crew.’

But their celebration is not the only bit of choreography the duo have been working on. Ahead of England’s clаsh with Serbia, Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold were seen perfecting a new hilarious handshake routine, which left defender Ezri Konsa smiling in the background.

A video posted online shows the duo shake hands, point their fingers in an upwards motion and then each taking turns to blоw on their hands as if they were trying to put out a flame.

England’s players have been playing Wolf since around the time of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which is also where fans really started to take note of Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold’s friendship.

Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold went for a stroll together in Qatar, with fans convinced the Liverpool star was trying to persuade Jude to join him at Anfield.

Bellingham was quickly developing into England’s star player as the tournament got underway, and speculation was ramping up over his club future as he looked certain to leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season.

Liverpool and Real Madrid appeared to be in pole position to land his signature, and some fans were convinced Alexander-Arnold was doing his best to get Bellingham over to Anfield when the duo went for a stroll together in Qatar.

Alexander-Arnold insisted he was ‘just going out with a mate’, but he was subsequently dubbed ‘Agent Trent’, with the two players never far away from one another during England’s time in the Middle East.
