Wayne Rooney has urged Manchester United to join Chelsea in the race to sign Jude Bellingham. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League for some time now as he continues to impress for club and country.
Bellingham has been subject to long-term interest from the Blues, football.london understands. The west Londoners watched the Borussia Dortmund star 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 Todd Boehly in the market for a new midfielder amid the uncertain futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho, Chelsea are one of several top-flight sides eager to acquire Bellingham's signature, according to The Athletic. And, Rooney has explained why he would like to see his former side to throw their hat in the ring.
