A Champions League winner and La Liga champion with Real Madrid before his 21st birthday, Jude Bellingham is a player with the footballing world at his feet and a growing, global army of admirers. His seemingly effortless style on the pitch belies his inner steel and few players have ever made such an impact on the beautiful game in such a ridiculously short space of time.

The young, outrageously gifted midfielder has come a long way since he cut his teeth as a 16-year-old in the second tier in England with Birmingham City. His three years in the German top flight with Borussia Dortmund that followed only underlined his star status and since his arrival at the Bernabéu, Bellingham has proved he is already a fully-fledged member of the football elite.

Iain Spragg has authored more than 30 titles and is behind both the Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo Ultimate Fan Books. With more than 25 years experience in sports journalism, he also wrote The World Cup in 100 Objects, The Official Book of Arsenal Records, Destination Tottenham and the official Barcelona and Real Madrid Annuals.
