Jude Bellingham has loved his first few weeks as a Real Madrid player and is confident of helping the Spanish giants fulfil their lofty expectations.
The 20-year-old midfielder completed his big-money switch to the Bernabeu last month, leaving Borussia Dortmund for a fee that could rise to an eye-watering £115million.
Bellingham made his second appearance for Madrid under the NRG Stadium roof on Wednesday when he opened the scoring in the friendly against Manchester United with a lovely, clipped finish.
The England star was taken off at half-time in Houston but was deemed to have done enough to earn the man of the match award as Carlo Ancelotti’s side triumphed 2-0.
“I look like I am enjoying it, I like to think,” Bellingham said after the game. …
Granada defender Jeison Murillo has moved to reveal that he has already agreed to join Inter Milan in the summer transfer window.
The Nerazzurri were linked with a late bid for the Colombian centre-back, but they failed to lure him to Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the January window.
Nevertheless, it appears that they have agreed to sign the player ahead of the 2015/2016 season, with reports citing a €10 million transfer fee.
“I thank God for this opportunity to join Inter in the summer,” Murillo told Caracol Radio.
“The two clubs have reached an agreement, the idea is to finish the season with Granada and then go to Inter.
“For now, I’m committed to helping Granada meet their targets. Only after that will I think about Inter because I‘…
Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane addressed speculation over Luka Jovic s future amid links to Manchester United and clubs in Serie A.
Jovic has struggled for game time since his €60million arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt in June last year, with form, fitness and Zidane s preference to play Karim Benzema up front hindering the Serbia international.
United have emerged as a loan option for Jovic, while Roma, Milan and Inter have also been linked with temporary moves for the 22-year-old.
Asked about Jovic – who was handed a rare start alongside Benzema in the 3-2 win over Real Betis last week – on the eve of Madrid s LaLiga clash against Real Valladolid, Zidane told reporters: You have to take everything into account.

Jarrod Bowen insists West Ham never know when we are beaten after the Hammers came back from behind to earn a shock 3-2 victory over London rivals Chelsea on Saturday.
Chelsea twice took the lead in the first half through Thiago Silva and Mason Mount, but Manuel Lanzini and Bowen netted equalisers before Arthur Masuaku s cross caught Edouard Mendy out at his near post and won the game for West Ham.
Bowen explained the Hammers pride themselves on their spirit and never-say-die attitude which has helped them to fourth in the Premier League this season.
That is what we are about as a team, the character, the belief, Bowen said to BT Sport after the game. We hung in sometimes when it was difficult.
We never know when we are beaten, we wen…
James Maddison provided two assists to help fill the creative void left by Harry Kane’s departure, but Tottenham could only start the Ange Postecoglou era with a 2-2 Premier League draw at Brentford.
Kane’s exit to Bayern Munich – coupled with four full debutants being used in their season opener – contributed to the start of a new dawn at Spurs and along with hosts Brentford, they produced an entertaining affair in west London.
New vice-captain Cristian Romero headed Tottenham in front after 11 minutes, but quick-fire efforts from Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa turned around this Premier League opener for the Bees.
Emerson Royal was able to level on the stroke of half-time after another assist by Maddison, who was wearing the number 10 shirt, and despite b…
Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas has joined Nottingham Forest on a one-month emergency loan, .
The Championship side wanted to wrap up the deal before the weekend’s clash with Derby County and they have now signed their former player on a four-week loan.
Jermaine Jenas left the Forests to join Newcastle United in the summer of 2001 for a fee of €7.5 million.
The highly rated midfielder enjoyed a lot of success at St James Park before being sold to Tottenham for double the amount in August 2005.
The 29-year-old had a promising start to his career at White Hart Lane, but lost his place in the side during the 2009/2010 season and has since become a bit-part player for Spurs.
Having made just one substitute appearance in the Premier League thi…
Everton have rejected a shock bid from Paris Saint Germain for Seamus Coleman,.
The full-back has been a target of Manchester United over the past few transfer windows though the Merseyside outfit have refused to sell.
Now Ligue One champions PSG have thrown their hat into the ring, though they have seen their approach rebuffed.
In six-and-a-half years at Goodison Park, the Republic of Ireland international has racked up one hundred and eighty-eight appearances in all competitions, scoring nineteen goals while he also had a loan spell with Blackpool in 2010 and has been capped twenty-eight times by his country.
Everton are also working hard to keep hold of fellow defender John Stones, who has been the subject of a number of big-money bids from Premi…
Monaco have won the Ligue 1 title for the first time since 1999-2000 to end Paris Saint-Germain s dominance of the French top flight.
Leonardo Jardim s side came into Wednesday s match with Saint-Etienne knowing they only needed a draw to be mathematically certain of glory, having thumped Lille 4-0 last time out to all but seal the title.
And they were duly crowned champions with a game to spare as Kylian Mbappe s first-half strike set Monaco on course for a 2-0 win that was wrapped up when Valere Germain added a second in stoppage time.
It is Monaco s first top-flight title in 17 years and their eighth in total. It also ends PSG s four-year run of title triumphs in Ligue 1.
Jardim claimed the Superleague title with Olympiacos in 2013, but this is …
Having to settle for what was a sluggish 0-0 draw away at on Wednesday night, Manchester United find themselves in the midst of a recent blip.
Slipping 14 points adrift of league leaders Manchester City, the Reds have recorded just three Premier League wins since briefly climbing to the top of the table back in January.
Now playing out three goalless stalemates on the bounce, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s side have gained some recent criticism for their issues in the final third.
Appearing almost solely reliant on talisman , many expect United to reinforce their attacking options when the transfer window reopens in the summer.
So, we have taken a look at three superstar names who have been linked with a potential move to Old Trafford over the past week.
