Jude Bellingham is hailed by Real Madrid legend as an 'UNBELIEVABLE player'

Jude Bellingham has been held aloft as an 'unbelievable player' by one of Real Madrid's all-time greats.

The 20-year-old has torched the history books since his £113million summer switch from Borussia Dortmund.

He bagged 14 goals in his first 15 Madrid games, eclipsing the previous record of 13 held by Cristiano Ronaldo, Alfredo Di Stefano, and Pruden Sanchez.

He also reached 20 goals for Real Madrid in 29 games, which is 126 appearances faster than fellow Englishman David Beckham did, and look at how highly he is thought of.

Zinedine Zidane has been overjoyed - but not surprised - by the Englishman's scintillating form in the Spanish capital.

'Don’t forget that he’s only 20 years old. He arrived at Real Madrid with a lot of desire, a lot of goals and he is setting the bar very high.

He’s just showing everyone what he is and it’s great to see him like that.

'I’m a big fan of his and now we want him to win trophies with Real Madrid. It’s everything he wanted for himself.

While Zidane purports not to be taken aback by Bellingham's red-hot form, he is changing games in a way unlike he had ever before.

Deployed as a number 10 by Carlo Ancelotti, he has already scored 20 goals and registered eight assists.

Even from his debut against Athletic Bilbao, in which he scored, he earned comparisons with Zidane for his swagger and guile.
