Bellingham to be a Real Madrid legend, says Madrid icon Raul

Jude Bellingham has landed on his feet at Real Madrid. Expectations were high with the young Englishman's arrival but the former Dortmund man has far exceeded them in his first season with Los Blancos. 

The England international joined the 'Merengues' last summer in a transfer worth a reported 103 million euros and has since become the star of a Real Madrid side that are in the semi-finals of the Champions League, on the verge of lifting the La Liga title and winners of the Spanish Super Cup.

The role the young star has assumed under Carlo Ancelotti has helped him record an impressive 21 goals and 10 assists so far this season, breaking goalscoring records held by club legends such as Cristiano Ronaldo. This has earned him praise from several leading figures at the Spanish club, with former Madrid captain Raul Gonzalez Blanco the latest to join the trend. 

"Bellingham? He has been the young player who has impressed me the most on his arrival at Real Madrid. He transmits, he knows how to move into space, he heads, connects and that makes him special. He will be one of the legends of Real Madrid," he told reporters.
