On the second day of Christmas – a conversation behind the scenes of football.

The midfielder of Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham, who arrived in his hometown, stopped by to watch his brother Jobe's (Sunderland) performance.

A little later, the Englishmen at the café were approached by the boy asking for autographs, effectively "signing" a ten-year contract with the child’s favorite team playing in the Championship, Burnley.

The manager of that team, Alan Pace, reacted to the news that spread on social media: "Alfie, welcome to our recruitment department.”
