Jude Bellingham

One of the most exciting midfielders of his generation, Jude Bellingham became Birmingham City's youngest ever first-team player at 16 before maturing at Borussia Dortmund and then becoming a Champions League winner with Real Madrid at just 20 years old.

Bellingham made his Birmingham City debut at 16 years and 38 days in August 2019, becoming the club's youngest first-team player. He made 44 appearances across all competitions before Borussia Dortmund signed him in summer 2020. Three seasons in the Bundesliga saw him make 132 appearances, score 24 goals and win the 2022–23 Bundesliga Player of the Season award, cementing his reputation as one of European football's brightest talents.

Real Madrid signed him for €103 million in June 2023. In a sensational debut season, Bellingham became Madrid's top league scorer with 19 goals, earned La Liga Player of the Season honours, and won the UEFA Champions League. He retained his La Liga title in 2023–24 and added the UEFA Super Cup and Supercopa de España. For England, he has earned 48 caps and scored 6 goals, featuring in back-to-back Euro finals (2020 and 2024).
