Comments laid out by former Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho this week are no doubt set to go down a treat amongst the club’s fanbase.
As much comes after the Portuguese weighed in on the best young talent in world football debate.
Discussion surrounding the standout up-and-coming player across the globe has of course taken its place front and centre in the headlines over recent days.
This comes as more and more high-profile figures point towards Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal as THE next global superstar.
The wide-man, still just 16, is fresh off dazzling in Spain’s opener in the European Championships, continuing to build a reputation for himself as a player who could go on to mark a generation.
Speaking in an interview with Philipp Kessler of German outlet ran this week, the same subject, in turn, was put to the aforementioned José Mourinho.
And the newly-appointed Fenerbahçe boss pointed towards a member of the midfield ranks at former club Real Madrid as his pick, explaining:
“When it comes to a player in the future and if you imagine what he can be in a few years, I would say Jude Bellingham. For me, he is the best young player in the world now.”
