• WHAT BELLINGHAM SAID

  Bellingham told reporters: "He's been really good, I think the lads have taken to him really well because not only is he an amazing player, but he's a great guy as well. Obviously, he's already speaking a bit of Spanish, so I think all the lads were impressed by that. It's been really nice."

  Asked what tips he has handed out to his countryman, Bellingham replied: "I can't say that on camera! Listen, it's all good, it's just about enjoying himself really, obviously the pressure is gonna be insane but I told him he's here for a reason and that he'll do great things for the club and I think he already believed that, he's got that confidence so yeah, it's really nice to have him."
