Bellingham addresses Mbappe's links with Real

New Real Madrid signing Jude Bellingham has addressed the club being linked with Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe.

Bellingham was unveiled as a Los Blancos player on Thursday following his big move from Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund.

Mbappe's future is once again up in the air after he revealed he will not be extending his contract beyond next season, which could see PSG sell their talisman in this transfer window.

Bellingham did not want to get drawn into the rumours but admitted anyone would love to play alongside the French World Cup winner.

"I can't really comment, I don't know his situation," Bellingham said, as per ESPN.

"If anything, my whole saga has taught me that not everything you see is true.

"He's a great player, whatever he chooses to do, all the best to him. Would I like to play with a player like Kylian Mbappe? Who wouldn't?"

Bellingham also opened up about why he chose Madrid over the likes of Liverpool, who were reportedly keen.

"I'd always been aware of the interest from England, so that was pretty normal. But it was a bit of a surprise when my dad sat me down and said, 'You've had interest from Real Madrid,' 12 or 15 months ago," he added.

"It was goosebumps, my heart was close to stopping. It's something you don't expect growing up, playing for a team like this."
