Jude Bellingham, the midfielder for Real Madrid, has been awarded the highly prestigious Golden Boy award for 2023.
He now joins the likes of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Erling Haaland as recipients of this esteemed honor.
At the young age of 20, Bellingham, who represents England, has already made a significant impact since his arrival at Real Madrid.
This remarkable year for him was further highlighted when he was presented with the Kopa Trophy at the Ballon d’Or awards in October.
Bellingham expressed his joy upon receiving the Golden Boy prize, which further reinforces his aspirations and passion for success.
“I’m proud to win the Golden Boy Award. My secret is the responsibility since I was a kid in the Academy. I want to get better every day and help Real Madrid. My focus is on that.”
Following his £88 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid last summer, Bellingham spoke of his dream to win various trophies.
“Real Madrid is the best club in the world. I’m proud to play for Madrid. I want to win all the trophies with my club and England national team.”
His performance in Spain has certainly left a lasting impression, with an impressive tally of 15 goals scored in just 17 appearances across all competitions.
