Jude Bellingham's surprise Real Madrid partnership with Joselu is compared to that of Peter Crouch and Jermaine Defoe by the England midfielder

Jude Bellingham surprise partnership with Joselu is being likened to that of Peter Crouch and Jermaine Defoe.

The pair have formed an unlikely partnership since both joining Real Madrid in the summer, with Bellingham's £113million move perhaps the headline transfer across world football in the summer.

Joselu's move was a little lower profiled, though did raise a few eyebrows with most Premier League fans remembering the 34-year-old from unsuccessful spells at Newcastle and Stoke a few years ago.

He has done well since making the loan summer move from Espanyol, however, netting four times in nine games, including his side's opening goal in their 3-0 win over Girona on Saturday.
