Borussia Dortmund centre-back Mats Hummels is a huge admirer of youngster Jude Bellingham.
The English teenager, who signed for BVB from Birmingham City, is already emerging as a leader within the dressing room.
Having now been at Dortmund for over a year, Bellingham is not shy about letting his teammates know about his thoughts.
Speaking to DAZN about Bellingham, Hummels said: "He is the most mature 18-year-old player I have ever seen.
"Jude is already someone who leads the way and he's also one of the loudest in the team.
'He's a great kid, I think I've told him about 25 times now that I just love him."
