Real Madrid veteran Lucas Vazquez has sung the praises of teammate Jude Bellingham.
Vazquez was speaking ahead of Tuesday's Champions League tie with Union Berlin.
He said: What a player! We're thrilled to have him here. We've seen the kind of player he is in training from day one. He helps the team with his goals and works as hard as anyone. He's really enjoying Real Madrid and I hope he can keep up his form and continue helping Madrid in every facet of the game."
Asked if he can match former greats Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, Vazquez insists it's too soon to judge.
It's too soon to say that. Bellingham has made an unbelievable start and we'll all do our best to help him continue in the same vein for years to come. You're talking about Benzema and Cristiano, two Real Madrid legends and I hope he can get close to them."
Vazquez was also asked about Germany defender Toni Rudiger.
Just like a good madman, nobody knows his secrets (laughs). Rdiger is having an incredible season, he's performing at an outstanding level and helping the team in every sense. I hope he stays here for a very long time because he's a huge player for us."
