There were claims that a new Jude Bellingham-class player was growing in Tottenham.
Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 19th (Korea time) that Thomas Frank already has his own Jude Bellingham in Tottenham.
Tottenham Hotspur News reported 'Tottenham has a midfielder who will grow to a world-class level. They have several players who will make a difference, one of whom stands out. Lucas Beribal is a Jude Bellingham type player. Beribal made history against West Ham, and Tottenham won comfortably. He also played in the European Champions League match against Villarreal and was named the man of the match for the second consecutive game. Fans are starting to notice what an amazing player he is.

Then 'Verival is a really outstanding player. Statistics show that Bellingham and Beribal are much more similar than expected. Bellingham is ahead on almost every metric. However, what is interesting is the defensive statistics. Both players had 0.9 interception per 90 minutes for their teams last season. Beribal, on the other hand, had 0.1 more in clearing per game than Bellingham. There is no doubt that Bellingham is still a more complete player. However, Tottenham also had a jewel-like player.
Beribal is a prospect who joined Tottenham last season. Having stood out since his Swedish league days, he refused Barcelona's courtship and chose to go to Tottenham, receiving great attention from the time of his transfer. At the same time as he joined last season, his growth was outstanding. Contrary to the prediction that he will not receive a big opportunity, he quickly increased his chances to play due to the injury and sluggishness of Tottenham's midfield. Beribal, who gradually began to become the main player, played in 45 official matches and was recognized as one of the key players. For Tottenham, they were bound to be fascinated by Beribal, who grew to the core of the midfield at a young age of 19.

From Beribal, joining Tottenham has also become a great move. Beribal received a lot of club attention in February last year. Despite his young age in 2006, Beribal, who played for Jurgodens and the Swedish national team, was already recognized for his outstanding physicality, speed, de-pressure, and dribbling on the professional stage, so he was talented enough to attract attention.
Barcelona, not Tottenham, was the closest team to recruiting Beribal. Until his imminent trip to Barcelona, he received attention from European big clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Juventus, but he seemed to be fascinated by Barcelona in the end. However, the situation changed as Tottenham stepped up. Tottenham's condition to capture Beribal's heart was to join the first team. Barcelona, on the other hand, proposed to start the next season, going back and forth between the second and first teams.
Beribal, who is right in Tottenham's first team, has shown tremendous growth and has now reached a level comparable to that of world-class midfielder Bellingham. It is still difficult to reach the world class, but if the performance continues, it is expected that a new ace will appear to fill Son Heung-min's vacancy.
