Bellingham’s Form Has Dropped Because Of Mbappe – AS

Jude Bellingham’s form has dropped since Kylian Mbappe was signed, Spanish newspaper, AS has said. The Spanish press recently launched a scathing inquest into Real Madrid’s struggles this season, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Bellingham has just 2 assists to his name thus far this season, and this is because his role has been different since Mbappe’s arrival.

AS added that by this time last season, the same Jude already scored 6 goals after 7 games.

It read, “In Bellingham’s case, the decline is much more palpable: he has only two assists, without goals, in seven games played. Last season, after seven games, he had scored six goals. These figures should not be compared coldly, because his role now, since the arrival of Mbappe, is very different, but the Englishman is still looking for his best version as a midfielder.”
