Jude Bellingham hasn't given much away as to where he will end up next as Chelsea's interest has been confirmed amid £150million transfer battle.
The England international looks highly likely to be travelling to Qatar for this year's FIFA World Cup and his most recent outing against Manchester City in the Champions League would no doubt have been watched and analysed by national team manager Gareth Southgate.
Birmingham City's finest is expected to gain more minutes under his belt in the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Italy on Friday evening and then Germany the following Monday as he faces stern competition from the likes of Declan Rice and others.
As for his club football, the future of the 19-year-old remains uncertain, with Borussia Dortmund likely to cash in this summer as they look on to follow their plan of selling at least one big star for substantial money over the summer.

With this in mind, The Athletic have reported that Liverpool and Manchester United are currently the frontrunners in this race, with the likes of Chelsea just behind at the moment.
Graham Potter will know that midfield will become a key concern for him and his recruiting team very soon as N'Golo Kanté and Jorginho are both set to see their current deals run out in the summer.
But Bellingham, based on a recent admission, hasn't given the Chelsea boss much hope yet that he is thinking of the much anticipated Premier League return which could be looming if he was to want the move at the end of 2022/23.
"The club have done loads for me and made me feel very welcome since I first came and gave me the opportunities to develop even further," he reflected via the Mirror on the Bundesliga outfit. "To look past that and into the future would be disrespectful. It's not something I am thinking about, to be honest."
