Twenty-year-old Jude Bellingham is quickly shaping up to be the signing of the summer after he joined Real Madrid on a €103 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund.
Moved up to the No. 10 position by Carlo Ancelotti, Bellingham has lit up the scoresheet to begin life at Real Madrid, adding goals to his already impressive skillset.
The winner of the European Golden Boy award, and now well established as one of the best midfielders in the world, the England international has enjoyed a blistering start to his Los Blancos career, already being hailed as a Galactico.
