Campbell urges Bellingham to choose Real Madrid over Liverpool

Former Arsenal and England defender Sol Campbell says Jude Bellingham to snub a move to Liverpool in favour of a "perfect" move to Real Madrid.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is a target for both clubs

Real Madrid is obviously one of the great historical teams and the way he playing, if he goes in the same direction, he would be perfect for Real Madrid because he is very young," said the former Arsenal defender to TMW.

“He's way ahead in a lot of things, he just needs the right club and the right manager to guide him in the right direction, that's all, and the right environment, because sometimes you can go to the wrong environment and so you waste your talent for a few years.

“If he goes to Madrid, he will improve the team, but also the club can keep him in the future. It is a club that knows what to do with young players, to make sure they are going in the right direction and continue to perform.

“And at Real Madrid, if you're good, you stay a long time. They keep all the really good players and Bellingham is one of the best young players. You just need the right environment to keep your feet on the ground and keep learning."
