Jude Bellingham is one of the most exciting young players in worked football, and after the first few months at Real Madrid, he has lived up to the hype.

Despite being just 20 years old, the Englishman is performing like a player deep into his career. Moreover, in just a handful of games, he's become a key player for the Spanish giants.

The former Borussia Dortmund star has played seven games so far this season and scored six goals, five in La Liga and one in the Champions League, per Transfermarkt.

His goalscoring run (five goals in his first four La Liga games) saw him match Cristian Ronaldo, who did so back in 2009 when he joined the club from Manchester United.

Several clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester United and others, were looking to sign the midfielder, but Real Madrid won the race for his signature, acquiring his services from Dortmund for a fee of €103 million that could potentially rise up to €133.9 million with add-ons.

The youngster has settled quickly at Real Madrid and revealed that he dreamt of playing for Real Madrid.

“Every night [I dreamt of being where I am right now]. If you want something hard enough, you’ve got to work for it. I play the game how I want to play the game, I do the things I want to do, say the things I want to say," via Madrid Universal.

Playing for Real Madrid is the pinnacle of a footballer's career. There are few clubs one can say is on the same level as Madrid, and Bellingham happens to play for one of them.

With most of Madrid's core players declining, Bellingham will be tasked with filling those boots and ushering in a new era at the club.

Bellingham makes bold Madrid admission

In a previous report, Sports Brief stated that Jude Bellingham continues to enjoy his fantastic start to life since completing his transfer to Spanish club Real Madrid.

The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder once again stole the show as his 94th-minute winner was enough to secure a much-needed win for Carlo Ancelotti’s side against Urs Fischer's Union Berlin.

The 20-year-old midfielder has found the back of the net six times in as many games for Los Blancos, as reported by talkSport. He spoke of how happy he was to play for the Spanish giants.
