JUDE BELLINGHAM has penned a lucrative deal with French luxury fashion giants Louis Vuitton.
The England and Real Madrid superstar is already signed up with brands including SKIMS, McDonalds, Lucozade and Adidas.
Bellingham, 21, “has a keen interest in fashion” and was spotted in a Louis Vuitton suit at the Ballon d’Or awards last November.
In a video posted to the brand’s official YouTube channel on Friday, Bellingham said: ‘I’m so happy to join the Louis Vuitton family.
“Since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to wear all the newest Louis Vuitton stuff. You watch it in the music videos, on the runway, and you always hope that one day you can put it on.”
The former Birmingham City ace sat in the front row at a show last year, in between Marcus Rashford and NBA Boston Celtics ace Jaylen Brown.
