Bellingham has settled well to life in Spain since his move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer in a deal worth £115million.
Brazilian Vinicius did his part in convincing the England international over to Madrid having text him several sales pitches.

The pair also go out for dinner together and were recently joined by defender Eder Militao.
