"Bellingham has the potential to be as good as, if not better than, Zidane. He is already an exceptional player, and I have said all sorts of nice things about him. On the other hand, it's too early to compare him to other great players when he's at the beginning of his career.

He has a great attitude and I don't see where he can stumble, given his mentality. He has the potential to be on a par with the great players, but that's just potential. He hasn't won much so far, so we're all talking about potential," Owen was quoted as saying by Goal.

Jude Bellingham has now scored 11 goals in 12 games for Real Madrid.
