Following his £103 million move from Borussia Dortmund, the 20-year-old has had an immediate impact in Madrid, scoring the game-winning goal in Madrid’s 1-0 triumph over Celta Vigo on Friday night.

Los Blancos’ night had not gone well after losing Vinicius Junior to injury, and they entered the last ten minutes of the game without breaking the deadlock. But Bellingham came up with his fourth goal for the club in the 81st minute, becoming the first Real Madrid player since Ronaldo to score in their first three games for the club.JAMB Portal

Bellingham made his debut for Real Madrid with a goal in the 2-0 victory over Athletic Club, and he followed that up with a brace in the 3-1 victory over Almeria.

When Bellingham moved into a more forward-thinking midfield role at Dortmund last year, the goals began to flow. His first two seasons in the Bundesliga, which saw him earn a regular place in the side at the age of 17, yielded just four goals in 62 appearances, however he also scored six times in cup and European play.JAMB Result

Last season was a watershed moment for him, as he scored eight Bundesliga goals and 14 in total, at a rate of one goal every three games.

Carlo Ancelotti has even stated that a striker is not required at this stage to replace Karim Benzema, adding before Bellingham’s recent goal: “We believe that the arrival of Bellingham covers the absence of Karim.”

“He is a serious, mature boy with a lot of quality. What he is doing is not surprising to those of us who know him, what is surprising is that he is only 20 years old.”

Toni Kroos has echoed Ancelotti’s sentiments about Bellingham, saying of the Englishman: “It was indicated in the preparation, where he did really well. He’s integrated surprisingly well in such a short time.NYSC Portal

“I have a very good feeling about him because I think he’s incredibly mature for his age – not just mentally, that he’s already very far, but also with the way he plays football. He’s very, very far, doesn’t do hara-kiri things, is always clear in his actions, works, tries to play to his strengths to the full.

“A lot of other people at that age still make a lot of hara-kiri, a lot of technical and tactical mistakes. You don’t see that much with him. So far I have to say that he is already an absolute asset to our game. That means something, because we’re not a completely blind team. The fact that a 20-year-old enriches us right from the start is a good sign.”
