Souness: Bellingham has Zidane's technical ability

Former Liverpool player Graeme Souness has heaped superlatives on Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham. The English talent moved to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer and the new campaign in impressive fashion, registering five goals and one assist in four matches. , I criticize them particularly harshly.

But I have no hesitation in saying that Bellingham could be in that group. He has the physicality and technical ability of Zidane – one of Real Madrid's greatest midfielders in my opinion, but only time will tell if he reaches those heights. His potential seems limitless,” Souness told the Daily Mail. He also noted that at 20, Bellingham looks like a mature footballer.

The midfielder covers great distances in the game, has "fantastic technique" and a "wise footballing head on young shoulders", Souness added. In the 2023/24 season, Bellingham made 4 La Liga appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 5 goals and providing 1 assist. He moved to the Spanish club in the summer of 2023, signing a 6-year contract. The transfer fee is estimated at approximately €133.9 million, including bonuses.
