Jude Bellingham showed his true colours with an emotional message to a Real Madrid colleague.

Despite being a fringe player, the Englishman recognised Vallejo's willingness to accommodate his wish with a respectful message.

Vallejo, 28, told The Athletic: "I remember they signed Jude and the club told me that Jude liked the No.



He has a very good mentality, I was delighted to give him the number before meeting him and even more so after I got to know him."

Despite his success in Spain, Bellingham has faced criticism for his behaviour towards match officials, with some branding him as petulant.

His sincere messages, like the one sent to Vallejo, are likely to bolster his standing.

Vallejo, who joined Real Madrid in 2015 for £4.3m as one of Spain's most promising talents, struggled to make his mark at the club.

This feat saw him surpass the record once held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Alfredo Di Stefano, who each scored 13 times in their first 15 outings for Real.

He ended the season on a high note, being named the best player in Spain after propelling Real Madrid to La Liga and Champions League triumphs.

Last season, success was more elusive, with Barcelona edging out Real for the La Liga title.

Bellingham will no doubt be a key figure as Alexander-Arnold adjusts to life in Spain after calling time on his long association with the Reds.
