Jude Bellingham has revealed what shocked him most about Chelsea as Borussia Dortmund reigned victorious over the Blues in the Champions League round of 16 first-leg. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League for a while now as he continues to impress for club and country.
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 midfielder during his time in the academy at Birmingham City but, after not acting on their interest, Dortmund signed him instead.
Despite the record-breaking arrival of Enzo Fernandez last month, Todd Boehly remains eager to further bolster the club's midfield options and the England international has been identified as a 'top target'. The American billionaire was in attendance at the Signal Iduna Park so he now knows first-hand what Bellingham offers.
