The £100m-rated midfielder had returned from the World Cup to a club in impeccable form. He posted a tweet at the weekend which simply read “6/6”. Borussia Dortmund have not dropped a point since before Jude Bellingham went to Qatar and their sixth consecutive victory came at Werder Bremen on Saturday.
Bellingham may yet become the most expensive footballer ever signed by an English club. For now, however, that distinction rests with Enzo Fernandez. The £107m man searches for a first win in Chelsea colours against Bellingham’s Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park. A selling club host a buying club. An in-form team face an out-of-form one. Chelsea go to Dortmund with the record for spending more over two transfer windows than any other club in footballing history and just two wins in their last 13 games.
