Jude Bellingham has responded to Steven Gerrard's latest transfer advice in fantastic fashion. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Borussia Dortmund for some time now as he continues to impress for club and country.
He, 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 midfielder during his time in the Birmingham City academy but, after failing to act on their interest, the German giants swooped in and signed the teenage sensation instead.
Now, Graham Potter is said to be in the market for a new midfielder amid the uncertain futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho, who are both set to leave in the summer once their respective deals expire. Bellingham has emerged as a potential candidate to replace the duo but Chelsea look set to face tough competition from the likes of Liverpool.
