The in-demand Borussia Dortmund star has edged closer to a Real Madrid transfer in recent weeks.
Michael Owen believes Jude Bellingham must avoid a move to Real Madrid in favour of returning to England.
Bellingham has established a reputation as one of the best midfielders in Europe with his brilliant displays at Borussia Dortmund.
A number of elite clubs are keen to sign the former Birmingham youngster. Real Madrid have managed to take the lead in the race to complete a move for Bellingham.
However, Owen hopes the 19-year-old should prioritize a move to the Premier League.
“I think he has to come back to the Premier League,” he told Daily Telegraph.
“He has done very well in Germany and made that decision to leave Birmingham when he was very young so he would get the opportunity to play. Dortmund have a massive asset on their hands.
“The Premier League is the biggest and best league in the world, it is just a question of which club can afford him? There aren’t many around because he is a special, special talent. He’s going to be one of the best around.”
He added: “He’s got attributes that make him a complete midfielder.
“We don’t see him every week because he’s out in the Bundesliga but what struck me was how giving he is.”
