Jude Bellingham: Gold Soccer Awards Best No.10 of 2025/26

Jude Bellingham is Gold Soccer Awards' Best No.10 for 2025/26, recognised for his exceptional ability to influence games, combine creativity with physical power and deliver when the pressure is greatest.

His 2024/25 campaign with Real Madrid demonstrated his quality, contributing nine La Liga goals and eight assists. But it was his extraordinary 2026 World Cup that reinforced his standing among the world's elite. Scoring seven goals as England secured third place, Bellingham produced a tournament of remarkable maturity, leadership and decisive moments.

The finalists

Barcelona's Fermín López had an outstanding 2025/26 campaign, recording 13 goals and 16 assists across 45 appearances in all competitions. His energy, creativity and ability to arrive in dangerous positions made him one of Europe's most productive attacking midfielders.

Paris Saint-Germain's Désiré Doué also impressed, scoring 14 goals and providing nine assists across all competitions. His performances in Ligue 1 and the Champions League demonstrated extraordinary technical ability, confidence and attacking flair.

Both were worthy finalists, but Bellingham's overall influence and big-game presence secured him the award.
