England and Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham has been compared to French legend Zinedine Zidane by his former coach.
Andres Manzano worked with Bellingham in his younger days due to Birmingham City's partnership with Spanish side UE Cornella.
PSG Confirm Interest In England Star
Manzano, who natured the likes of Jordi Alba and David Raya, feels England are luck to have a midfielder who has similar qualities to the former Real Madrid and France star.
"The player I see most in him is Zidane. In part it's the versatility. He's capable of playing central midfield, or wide; in a 4-2-3-1 or in 4-3-3 – he is somewhere between a number 8 and a number 10.
"He's an all-terrain midfielder with a lot of personality and he is so good on the ball but he also has that size, that enviable physique. I don't like comparisons but if you ask me that's the one I would make.
"He reminds me of Zidane, a player who could score, assist, and do a lot of things with the ball and without the ball. England fans are lucky because they have a player who is going to dominate for years."
Bellingham has been linked with a number of clubs in the last few weeks, but Manzano feels the Premier League could be a good destination.
"I would advise him to listen to his people because up until now they have always made the right call. In my opinion the Premier League is the best in the world and I'm sure as an ambitious player he wants to play in the best league in the world and in his own country," he added.
