Former Real Madrid winger Eden Hazard, has revealed his admiration for Jude Bellingham.

Bellingham signed for the Los Blancos last summer, and has proven to be a phenomenal signing.

Eden Hazard has claimed he always knew Bellingham was going to be a football star.

“Wow, what a player, ouf! I had a chance to talk with him a bit because we took the same plane to go to a Ballon d’Or gala,” Hazard said on the Obi One Podcast.

“I saw him playing because he was playing in Dortmund with my brother.

“So I watched Thorgan [Hazard] and also Bellingham playing. I was like, this guy was 18-19 years old but he was already special.”

Bellingham has been Real’s top scorer this season, and is also the La Liga leading scorer with 16 goals. Interestingly, he has scored more league goals than Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo combined, this season.
