Jude Bellingham was Real Madrid's biggest signing this summer, and so far, he has lived up to the €103 million the Spanish side paid for his services.
The club's superstar Vinicius Jr recently disclosed that he had a chat with the Englishman to convince him to sign with the 14-time European champions.
Bellingham is having a terrific first season at Real Madrid, and after ten games in all competitions, he has scored 120 goals and broke a few records, some previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo, per Transfermarkt.
Carlo Ancelotti's team reportedly beat Manchester City and Liverpool to land Bellingham, one of football's most exciting talents, per ESPN.

FootballThe 20-year-old has become Real Madrid's most important player, having scored vital goals in the early weeks of the season.
The Brazilian international recently explained how he helped his club sign Bellingham, per L'Equipe via GOAL.
"We're so happy he signed - I had been texting him for months! I said: 'This is the best team in the world'. I knew other teams wanted him. Juni Calafat has become a friend and he knows that if I can give a little help, I will. I did the same with Cama [Eduardo Camavinga]. I was sending him messages, he came and won the Champions League. Hopefully it will be the same for Jude."
The 23-year-old was also asked if he could convince Kylian Mbappe to join Real Madrid but said things are different with the Frenchman.
Vinicius has made only seven appearances this season and scored three goals. He missed several games because of injuries and is starting to form a great partnership with Bellingham.
