Bellingham names 2 Real Madrid teammates that have helping him to learn Spanish

Jude Bellingham has revealed that two of his new Real Madrid team-mates have been particularly helpful in helping him pick up Spanish.

The midfielder has completed his first week of training for Madrid following his £113million transfer in June.

The 20-year-old was signed for a record fee for a British player, agreeing a six-year deal with the club, and will follow in the footsteps of fellow Brits Gareth Bale and David Beckham - who also played for the LaLiga giants.

And Bellingham says his new team-mates have been helping him to adjust to life in Spain.

'Lucas Vázquez and Brahim Díaz are probably my biggest Spanish teachers,' Bellingham told the club's media channels.

'Everyone's chipping in and teaching me bad words. I can't wait to try them out.'

He added that one of the biggest challenges so far has been acclimatising to the heat of training, though he's 'feeling strong and good' so far.

Bellingham also had some words of praise for veteran midfielder Toni Kroos.

'Toni Kroos is a master. One thing I've noticed is his passing details,' Bellingham said of the German. 'The ball just drops wherever he wants it to, all the time.

'Having watched Kroos from the outside, it's a pleasure to watch him up close. It's really good being able to receive the ball from him, showing him what I can do too, and see how our skills can match.'

The Birmingham City academy graduate , who went on to score 24 goals in 132 games with Borussia Dortmund, could also slot into a position higher up field for the Galacticos, with rumours suggesting Ancelotti could opt to change to a 4-3-2-1 system.

The England star, who was pivotal for Gareth Southgate's side at the 2022 World Cup, featured in all but three of Dortmund's Bundesliga matches last season.

His side agonisingly missed out on winning the German title last season in a dramatic final day that saw rivals Bayern Munich snatch the league title from right under their noses.
