When he was younger Bellingham actually wanted to play for Real Madrid's rivals Barcelona. 

In pictures posted on TikTok by one of his former classmates, underneath a header saying: 'When I grow up I want to be', Bellingham wrote:  'When I grow up I want to be a professional footballer for Barcelona and England.'

Bellingham's ultimate dream was to have a football tour with David Beckham and he added that Adam Sandler movies were the thing that made him laugh.

Having already made 29 appearances for England, Bellingham is set to be a key player for the Three Lions at Euro 2024 and he will be determined to make a major impact.

Bellingham didn't feature in England's warm-up games against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland after being given time off following Real's Champions League success.
