Real Madrid completed the signing of Jude Bellingham earlier this month.
Bellingham signed up from Borussia Dortmund for a massive €103m.
The 19-year-old is very much rated, and was sought after by some of the best teams in the world, including Manchester City and Liverpool.
Zidane who’s seen as one of the greatest of his generation, has spoken highly of Bellingham.
“Jude Bellingham is an important player for the future. He is ready to play at Real Madrid,” Zinedine Zidane told Telefoot, via 90Min.
“I met Bellingham at the 2022 Champions League final, we spoke a little, I hope he has a great career.”
Jude Bellingham sees Zidane as his idol, and has been given the no. 5 jersey at Real Madrid which once belonged to Zinedine Zidane.
Reports claim that Zidane played a role in making Bellingham sign up for the Los Blancos, as he invited the Englishman to watch the 2022 Champions League final live from the stands. Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 in that game.
