Mateus Mane and Ethan Nwaneri on Real Madrid radar to follow Jude Bellingham footsteps

Real Madrid are on the hunt for the next Jude Bellingham, and therefore have a number of talented English midfielders on their radar, according to a report from TEAMtalk.

Real hit the jackpot when signing Bellingham, as they landed a young star with a huge ceiling and have seen him become one of the very best players in the world during his time in Madrid.

Now 22 years of age, the Englishman has played 128 games for Real, scoring 44 goals, assisting a further 32, and scooping five team trophies, including the Champions League.

Following the success of Bellingham at one of the world's biggest clubs, they feel there is a similar avenue to take - finding a young English talent and turning them into a star, per the report.

There are multiple talents hailing from England, reported to be under-appreciated, that are said to be in Real's sights to potentially follow the footsteps of Bellingham.

A source was quoted as saying: "Of course, we are aware of top talents in the Premier League. It is not easy, given the strength of the clubs in England, but the youth set-up is so impressive now – it would be illogical for us not to be looking."

On the list for Real at the moment are: Archie Gray, Ethan Nwaneri, Max Dowman, Nico O'Reilly, Josh Acheampong, Jesse Derry, Mateus Mane and Bellingham's brother, Jobe.

There are players on that list in differing situations in their careers. Most are solely midfielders, with some frequenting other positions but able to play in the middle: such as O'Reilly and Acheampong.

The Manchester City man is perhaps the player who has made himself the most important at his current side, with the 20-year-old starting the majority of games for City this season.

Jobe, like older brother Jude, has already made a move from England abroad, swapping Sunderland for Borussia Dortmund, so he could potentially closely follow his brother's career path.

Mane at Wolves is one of the most exciting players on the list, and it feels almost certain he'll be on the move in the summer, with the Molineux outfit almost certainly resigned to relegation from the Premier League, but after only 19 Premier League games - with four goal contributions - Real could be a bit soon.

In any case, since seeing what Bellingham has done for them, the Spanish giants are intently interested in English talents and they are determined to keep tabs on the best young players in the country.

It is suggested in the report that more talents from England could emerge on the Real radar in the coming months.
