Wenger likens Bellingham to Real Madrid great Zidane

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has sung the praises of Jude Bellingham.

Wenger says comparisons between the Real Madrid midfielder and Zinedine Zidane are legit.

He said after Real's Champions League victory over Bayern Munich: "Zidane arrived at 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."
