Jude Bellingham is lighting up Real Madrid already. He’s bossing the midfield in the famous Zidane 5 shirt, scoring winning goals, and has the Bernabeu singing his name. And yes, he is still only 20 years old.
But how is he doing it? What is he bringing to Real Madrid? Sam Tighe explains.
Would you have swapped Salah for Bellingham? Or, rather, would you have preferred to sell.Salah early and use the money for Bellingham (among others)?
Gotta say, I’m disappointed he’s not playing in the PL, but relieved he’s not strengthening an opponent. We got Maddison for a bargain, so Spurs fans are pretty happy in the 10 department for now 😄

Of course not, but that’s neither here nor there. We had enough for his transfer fee without doing that, we just couldn’t offer him the mountains of money Real Madrid can. Financial fair play rules don’t seem to apply at all in Spain…
