Bellingham eager to learn from new Real Madrid teammates Kroos, Modric

Jude Bellingham is looking forward to playing alongside Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in Real Madrid's midfield.

The former Borussia Dortmund had his signing ceremony yesterday at the Santiago Bernabeu.

On his new teammates Modric and Kroos, Bellingham said: "It's a valuable experience for my career. They are both incredible players and their vision and experience is going to be extraordinary for me. I'm going to try to learn as much as I can and try to stick with them for the first few weeks.

"I hope it doesn't bother them. The combination of experience and youth is extraordinary. We have an extraordinary team and they're not only great players but also top people. I can't wait to get started.

"I've come to a very big club and I am very professional. When you are 15 or 16 years old and you play with adults you have to learn quickly. I know how important this responsibility is and I hope I can continue to perform well here.

"I know the expectations placed on my shoulders and every year I continue to improve. I know the level I have to be at and the level I have to give. The World Cup was a fast learning experience and I want to come here, win and develop my way of playing and my style."
