Ian Wright has reassured potential suitors that Jude Bellingham's captaincy at Borussia Dortmund isn't a hands-off deterrent. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League since he first made a name for himself at Birmingham City.
Bellingham has been subject to long-term interest from Chelsea, football.london understand. The west Londoners watched the England international during his time as an academy player, but after failing to act on their interest, Borussia Dortmund swooped in and signed the teenage sensation instead.
He's quickly become an integral fixture in the German side since arriving at the Signal Iduna Park two years ago - so much so that he's recently been given the responsibility of wearing the captain's armband. And while that could send a 'hands-off' message to clubs like Chelsea, who are said to be looking to sign him in the summer, it is, in fact, the opposite, according to the former Arsenal striker.
