Pedri has become the top assist-maker in La Liga after the signing of Anfield youngster Jude Bellingham.

The young Spaniard, who turned 18 on Friday, has already provided six assists for his club Barcelona this season and is now just two behind Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes with five.

Bellingham, meanwhile, has signed a new deal at Liverpool until June 2026, meaning he will be available to play for Barca next year.

Pedri, who joined Barcelona from Real Sociedad last summer for £55 million ($74 million), has been a revelation since joining the Catalan giants.

He has already made more appearances than any other player in Spain's top flight this season, playing 22 times and scoring four goals.

His performances have not gone unnoticed, with La Liga's official Twitter account even naming him as the league's top assist-maker.

Pedri's success is down to his versatility and technical ability, which allows him to create chances for his teammates and also score himself.

With Bellingham now committed to Liverpool, it remains to be seen how much impact the Englishman can have on the game if he were to join Barcelona.

But one thing is certain: Pedri's rise to stardom is a testament to his talent and hard work. He may not have played a full season yet, but he has already established himself as one of the best young players in world football.
