Jude Bellingham justified why he is one of most coveted players ahead of January transfer window after impressing at the World Cup for England. The 19-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with an exit from Borussia Dortmund for some time now, with the Blues among several of Europe's biggest clubs vying for his signature.
Bellingham, who sees his contract at the Signal Iduna Park expire in 2025, has been subject to long-term interest from Chelsea, football.london understands. The west Londoners watched the Three Lions international during his time as an academy player at Birmingham City but, after failing to act on their interest, the German giants swooped in and signed the teenage sensation instead.
Graham Potter is said to be in the market for a new midfielder this summer amid the uncertain futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho. With Bellingham leading by example in Gareth Southgate's side, his dominating displays at the highest level have further proven why Chelsea must secure his signature.
