Rating football's best brothers as Jude and Jobe Bellingham hit the headlines

It was an exciting 24 hours for the Bellingham family, seeing world-class star Jude seal a £113million switch to Real Madrid on the same day younger brother Jobe joined Sunderland for £1.5m.

The teenage duo soaked up the sun on holiday together in the south of France to celebrate their very different moves.

Though Jobe, 17, is still two years younger and looks to have a very promising career ahead of him, Jude seems to have the edge for now.

But they're far from the only brothers to reach the top level of the game: Gary Neville outlasted Phil at Manchester United, Anton Ferdinand failed to reach Rio's heights while Yaya and Kolo Toure both lifted the Premier League title.

And below, Mail Sport rates football's best brothers - including a Belgian family of four, two England legends, a pair of Brazilian 'whippets' and a Ghanaian duo who faced off on the last day of the top-flight season.

Jude and Jobe Bellingham

Jude Bellingham is probably the most complete young player in world football.

He will have the chance to emulate footballing legend Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid, where he will wear the Frenchman's famous No 5 shirt.

Liverpool, Man City and Man United were all keen, but a £113m move has got all of Spanish football talking.

No pressure for Jobe at the Stadium of Light, then!

Gary and Phil Neville

Gary Neville was the more talented of the two Nevilles. He broke through earlier, played more regularly and left later than brother Phil at Manchester United.

Phil, a solid and dependable player nonetheless, served United well as a versatile utility player, before displaying his leadership with more than 300 appearances in eight seasons at Everton. You don't get 59 England caps for nothing.

But one-club man and Old Trafford stalwart Gary, now a top pundit with Sky Sports, was one of the best right backs of his generation and represented the Red Devils more than 600 times.

Just don't ask either about their managerial records...

Yaya and Kolo Toure

Joint-owners of one of the most catchy chants in football, Yaya and Kolo Toure both reached 100 caps for the Ivory Coast.

At club level, defender Kolo made his mark in England first, and was a key part of Arsenal's undefeated Invincibles side of 2003-04, before joining Manchester City in 2009.

Younger brother Yaya moved to the Etihad Stadium a year later from Barcelona and the rest was history.

He was untouchable in that one season in 2013-14, when he scored 24 goals in 49 appearances. Both were gifted - but Yaya has the edge on Kolo.

Ronald and Erwin Koeman

Sons of Dutch international Martin Koeman, Ronald and Erwin both enjoyed distinguished careers for Holland.

But while Erwin, now 61, ground out spells at PSV, Groningen and Mechelen, Ronald was one of the best attacking centre halves of all time and starred for Barcelona and Ajax. A clear winner here.

Ronald - the top-scoring defender in world football - is now coaching his country, with Erwin assistant.

Eden and Thorgan Hazard

The Hazard family have certainly produced several top footballers.

Eden Hazard earned a massive move to Real Madrid after shining at Chelsea, while Thorgan plays for German side Borussia Dortmund.

While younger brother Kylian and teenager Ethan, the most junior of the four, both play in Belgium.

All except Ethan were signed by Chelsea at one point in their careers.

Eden has since had his contract ripped up by Real but his accomplishments to date have him No 1 in the family.

Rio and Anton Ferdinand

Defender Anton Ferdinand had a steady enough career for West Ham, QPR and Sunderland in the Premier League, and was capped 17 times by England Under 21s.

That, however, pales in comparison to his elder brother by six years, Rio, who was one of the best centre backs of his generation.

Rio played more than 450 times for Manchester United and was capped by England on 81 occasions during their 'Golden Generation' era.

Bobby and Jack Charlton

The siblings with the most quality in this list?

Bobby and Jack Charlton were not just participants but key cogs in the only England football team ever to win the men's World Cup.

Jack played at centre back and Bobby in attacking midfield as Alf Ramsey's men beat West Germany at Wembley.

Future Ireland manager Jack was a fine player for Leeds but Bobby's superb career at United edges it for us.

Filippo and Simone Inzaghi

Pippo Inzaghi wasn't the most technically gifted but was still a hotshot striker for Juventus, AC Milan and Italy.

By contrast, brother Simone was a less prolific forward for Piacenza and Lazio, only capped by his country three times.

With both now in the managerial ranks, the tables have turned - Simone, 47, is at high-flying Inter Milan while Pippo toils away at Reggina.

Michael and Brian Laudrup

Michael Laudrup is one of the most technically brilliant players of all time, moving from Juventus to Barcelona to Real Madrid, such was his vision, creativity, passing ability and skill. He was also capped more than 100 times by Denmark.

Younger brother Brian represented Bayern Munich and Rangers but his honours paled in comparison to Michael's.

We think the elder of the two siblings had the better career.

However, interestingly, Michael has always believed Brian was the better player.

Rafael and Fabio da Silva

A Man United scout once described the Brazilian full-back twosome of Rafael and Fabio da Silva as a pair of 'whippets' to iconic former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

Both lifted the Premier League title in 2010-11, with Rafael probably enjoying the more successful career.

The brothers are back in their home country currently.

Jerome and Kevin-Prince Boateng

Paternal half-brothers Jerome and Kevin-Prince played against each other at club and - unusually - international level too.

Kevin represented Schalke against Jerome's Bayern, and Ghana against Jerome's Germany in an unusual twist of fate.

While Kevin was technically brilliant at points, Jerome's consistency for the German giants and then Man City shades it for us.

Andre and Jordan Ayew

Andre and Jordan Ayew, son of one of the best African players of all time in Abedi Pele, have played together for Marseille, Swansea and, of course, Ghana.

Younger brother Jordan, 31, is right-footed, a model of consistency and more of a functional forward for Crystal Palace, while the mercurial Andre, 33, was a floaty left-footed attacker capable of moments of magic.

They played against each other on the final Premier League game of last season, with Ayew coming on as a sub for Nottingham Forest, where he has just been released.

Ones we missed out

Honourable mentions go to Diego and Gabriel Milito, Shaun and Bradley Wright-Phillips, Fabio and Paolo Cannavaro, Franco and Giuseppe Baresi, Rafinha, Thiago, Lucas and Theo Hernandez too.
