Real Madrid on Wednesday confirmed the signing of England midfielder Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, and described him as one of the 'biggest talents' in world football.

Bellingham at 19 had already established himself among the most sought-after players in soccer, with Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain among his admirers. But he has chosen to join 14-time European champion Madrid on a six-year contract.
