Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has heaped massive praise on Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham, and likened him with the legendary Zinedine Zidane.

Wenger said (as per Marca): “Zinedine Zidane arrived at Real Madrid when he was 29 years old, while this boy is 20 years old and that is a big difference.

“Bellingham is like a mix of Zidane with a physically powerful player. He is a physical Zidane.”

The 20-year-old Englishman has been great for Real Madrid this season. He has racked up 22 goals and 10 assists in 39 games across all competitions.

Bellingham has been a force in midfield for Real Madrid this season, and is the team’s highest scorer this term.

Jude Bellingham sees Zinedine Zidane as his idol, and wears his iconic No. 5 jersey.
