Trent Alexander-Arnold has sent Jude Bellingham a message at the height of speculation regarding the Borussia Dortmund star's future. The 19-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with an exit from Borussia Dortmund for some time now, with Chelsea and Liverpool among several of Europe's biggest clubs vying for his signature.
Bellingham has been subject to long-term interest from Chelsea, football.london understands. The west Londoners watched the England 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.
With Graham Potter in the market for a new midfielder this summer amid the uncertain futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho, Chelsea will match any bid that is made in order to acquire Bellingham's services, according to Telegraph journalist Matt Law on the 'London Is Blue Podcast'.
