LaLiga’s president has said Jude Bellingham is from a ‘different planet’ and hailed the England midfielder’s impact on the Spanish league.<\/p>\n
Bellingham has made a stunning start to life at Real Madrid following his summer switch from Borussia Dortmund and has already become the star attraction at the Santiago Bernabeu.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old, who has pulled out of international duty with England this week due to a shoulder problem, has scored an impressive 13 goals in his first 14 games in all competitions.<\/p>\n
President Javier Tebas admitted people are surprised by how good Bellingham is and it is too early to estimate just how important he will be for the Spanish league from a commercial perspective.<\/p>\n
‘It’s only been a few months, it’s too soon to know the full extent, but in the viewing levels in the UK Bellingham is having a big impact in our league,’ Tebas said.<\/p>\n

‘He’s an important player and the United Kingdom and other English-speaking areas are attracted to our league because of him.<\/p>\n
‘Bellingham is a top player, we knew he was a great player but we didn’t realise the level he could reach, at Real Madrid it’s like he’s from a different planet.<\/p>\n
‘I’m sure he’ll stay for a few more seasons.’<\/p>\n
Tebas, who was speaking at the Web Summit in Lisbon, admitted that the Premier League was bigger than LaLiga, but it was his league that had the best player in Europe.<\/p>\n
‘We have got the best player in Europe who is English,’ Tebas said of Bellingham. ‘We can’t compare the two countries.<\/p>\n
‘Obviously the Premier League is bigger but the best player in Europe is playing in Spain.<\/p>\n
‘So we have the choice to get the best players to come to Spain.’<\/p>\n
