After an incredible first season at Spanish giants, Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham is favourite to win the Ballon d'Or.
Football fans are singing the praises of 20-year-old Englishman, Jude Bellingham after his late heroics in the El Clásico last night.
He brought his La Liga goal tally for the season up to 17 with a 91st minute winner against rivals Barcelona to move Los Blancos 11 points clear of Xavi’s side in second and all but secure them the league title.
After signing from Dortmund in the summer for a fee of £88m, Bellingham has 21 goals and 10 assists in all competitions and has quickly become a fan favourite.
Real Madrid's advancement to the Champions League semi-finals, their near-certain grasp on the league title, and the young man's forthcoming role in Euro 2024 favourites, England’s campaign makes him a genuine contender for the Ballon d'Or in October.
He is the current favourite to win the coveted award and follow in the footsteps of Real Madrid legends such as Christiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Karim Benzema.
He has a best price of 3/1 (implied chance of 25%) available at Paddy Power and Betfair.

The bookmakers have Bellingham's soon to be teammate, Kylian Mbappe as his biggest threat at a best price of 10/3 (23% implied chance).
Despite a season that hasn't seen the World Cup finalist feature as much as he usually would, he has racked up an impressive 41 goals and nine assists in 42 games and looks set to lift his seventh Ligue 1 title.
He also has progressed to the Champions League semi-finals with PSG and if the French talisman can lift the trophy in Germany this summer, he is sure to have a shot at the Ballon d'Or.
