Chelsea have been told that they could already have 'one of the best' midfielders in the Premier League at their disposal despite Todd Boehly's mission to sign Jude Bellingham. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Borussia Dortmund for a while now as he continues to impress for club and country.
Bellingham, who sees his contract at the Signal Iduna Park expire in 2025, has been subject to long-term interest from the Blues, football.london understands. The west Londoners watched the teenage sensation during his time at Birmingham City academy but, after failing to act on their interest, the German outfit pounced and signed him instead.
The England international has quickly become one of the most coveted young players in Europe. According to The Telegraph, Chelsea understand that they're not favourites to sign Bellingham though that will not stop the club from trying as they look to further bolster Graham Potter's midfield options.
