Jobe Bellingham has heaped praises on Luka Modric

Jobe Bellingham has heaped praise on Real Madrid midfield maestro, Luka Modrić.

Bellingham who joined Borussia Dortmund from Sunderland has certainly captured attention, with many expecting him to emulate the success of his older brother, Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.

However, Jobe is clearly determined to forge his own legacy, even playfully suggesting he doesn't often watch his superstar sibling play.

What Bellingham said

In a light-hearted moment during an interview with Dortmund ambassador Patrick Owomoyela, Jobe was directly asked about tuning into his brother's matches.

He said, "No, no. I don’t watch him, I see enough of him."

Jobe holds immense respect for another Real Madrid midfield maestro, Luka Modrić.

He continued, "I watch so many players, so many midfielders. Earlier I was watching Modric, when I have time I like to watch midfield plays.”

Unfortunately for Jobe, Modrić's illustrious tenure at Real Madrid is drawing to a close, with the veteran expected to depart the club after the conclusion of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Modrić is reportedly set to remain in Europe, with AC Milan tipped as his likely next destination.
