German giants Borussia Dortmund to sign Bellingham City

DORTMUND: German giants Borussia Dortmund on Monday announced the signing of 17-year-old mid-fielder Jude Bellingham from Birmingham City in a 'long-term' deal.

Dortmund reportedly paid 25 million pounds plus add ons to acquire the services of the talented mid-fielder and he is set to earn in excess of 50,000 pounds per week.

Premier League clubs Manchester United and Chelsea were also said to be after his signature but Jadon Sancho's rise at Dortmund seemingly forced Bellingham to follow suit. Bellingham had reportedly even visited the two team's training grounds Carrington and Cobham respectively. IANS
