Jude Bellingham set for new role at Real Madrid under Jose Mourinho

The question is whether it will suit Bellingham playing behind Kylian Mbappe. Often Bellingham’s best work has come with a reference point as a number nine, such as Joselu Mato in his first season, or Harry Kane for England. Nevertheless, the freedom to move in behind, and to roam through midfield, are things that can benefit him. Without a clear read on Mourinho’s intended style, it will be difficult to predict how Bellingham will fare.
