"Jude, and I'll say it right here, it's not that he was a surprise, but from day one I've seen a player with exceptional quality and talent. Something that's even more surprising up close.

The performance he's showing in training, his commitment and leadership I'm very proud of his level and of having a player like him."

Alvaro Arbeloa was appointed Real Madrid head coach after Xabi Alonso's dismissal and has won three of his first four matches, reducing the gap to Barcelona to one point in LaLiga.

He highlighted Bellingham's movement, game reading and shooting.
