The Real Madrid new signing Jude Bellingham has been drawing quite a lot of attention not only for his impressive skills on the field but also for his distinctive choice of attire.
Some of you might have noticed that the youngster's missing a good chunk of fabric from his socks when he takes to the pitch.
Why does he rip it, you may ask? We've got you covered.
It turns out, professional athletes opt to cut holes in their socks to relieve pressure on their calf muscles caused by the snug fit of the garment.
Particularly for those with well-developed leg muscles, socks can be restricting, affecting blood flow, circulation and breathability.
For Bellingham, this choice not only addresses practical concerns but also adds a personal flair, making his ripped sock style a unique feature.
