"Madrid was a dream for me": Bellingham

Jude Bellingham is now reality for Real Madrid. The English footballer is one of the Spanish giant's biggest signings ahead of next season as he joins the elite club of English players who have signed for 'Los Merengues'.

On his last few days before joining the team for the preseason, the midfielder sat down with 'Sky Sports' to talk about his arrival in the Santiago Bernabeu.

 "I'm still just as grateful for the opportunity but now I'm really itching to get back and start playing again", he said

"I'm buzzing. It's the dream move for me. I've done all the talking ...  and now it's about getting ready and starting to play", he added.

"I'm very happy to be at this club," the Englishman continued, "Wherever I was going to take my next step there was going to be pressure... but now I get the chance to enjoy it".

He joined Madrid from Borussia Dortmund for the staggering fee of 103 million euros earlier in the transfer window. Real Madrid will begin the preseason next week. However, Bellingham could have an extra day day or two of rest, as he suffered a minor knee injury before the end of last season.
