UCL: ‘He’s not even playing his position’ – Owen Hargreaves names world’s best player

Former Manchester United and Manchester City midfielder, Owen Hargreaves has named Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham as the best player in the world at the moment.

Bellingham recently scored a fascinating goal in Real Madrid’s 3-2 UEFA Champions League Group C win against Napoli.

The England international drove into the box using his power and pace to evade defenders before sending the ball past Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret.

His goal against Napoli means he has now scored eight goals and provided three assists in just nine games across all competitions for Real Madrid.

Speaking about the 20-year-old, Hargreaves told TNT Sports: “He’s the best player in the world right now, on current form. I know it’s only early doors, but we just heard the numbers…nine games, eight goals, three assists.

“He’s not even playing his position. He’s not a No. 10 and he’s scoring goals like a No. 9, replacing [Karim] Benzema.”
