Jude Bellingham very nearly became a Liverpool player last year, but now, Diogo Jota has claimed that the Reds have someone who’s even better than the midfielder.

Bellingham is one of the frontrunners to win the Ballon d’Or this year after an incredible season with Real Madrid and a couple of memorable moments at Euro 2024.

However, according to Jota, speaking to Goal, one of his Liverpool teammates is better than Bellingham.

Indeed, according to the striker, Trent Alexander-Arnold is a better player than the Real Madrid star.

Diogo Jota says Trent Alexander-Arnold is better than Jude Bellingham

The striker ranked Alexander-Arnold just ahead of Bellingham when discussing some of the biggest stars in world football.

“Trent?” Jota was asked.

“Two,” Jota said.

“Jude Bellingham?”

“Number three then.”

What Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham have been spotted doing

It’s interesting that Jota compared Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold. After all, these two have struck up quite the bromance.

Indeed, Alexander-Arnold and Bellingham are seemingly inseparable in the England camp, and just this week the two England stars were spotted together at the airport.

Football London’s Kaya Kaynak provided an update on the pair, stating that he saw them in Los Angeles together.

“I saw Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold together in the passport queue in LA,” Kaynak said.

“I guess they’re on holiday together in LA. I don’t think they are signing for Arsenal, but maybe it’s some sort of Real Madrid link-up, Trent has been linked with a move over there, so it will be interesting to keep an eye out on that one.”

As Kaynak says, this comes shortly after Alexander-Arnold was linked with a move to Real Madrid.

Whether you believe Alexander-Arnold is better than Bellingham is up for debate, but if Madrid do manage to sign the Liverpool full-back, there’d be a case to make that England’s two most talented player would both then be playing for Los Blancos.
