Bellingham has named Zidane as his dream team-mate for a one-off fantasy game, as he insists that the France icon would be a walking highlight reel.

Bellingham is bidding to match Zidane's legacy at the Bernabeu, although he maintains that he would rather not spend an entire season alongside the World Cup winner, as he does not believe he would ever play!

WHAT BELLINGHAM SAID

Bellingham, when asked about his dream team-mate, told : "[Zinedine] Zidane, easily. I'd just give him the ball and watch him really. You know, it'd be like watching YouTube up close. That'd be by far my favourite one. Mind you, I wouldn't want to play a whole season, I don't think I'd get any minutes!"
