Bellingham explains road to becoming a £25m star at 17 after being snapped up by Dortmund

Having burst onto the scene at Birmingham, the talented teenage midfielder is now opening a new chapter in his career with German giants

Jude Bellingham has been reflecting on how he became an award-winning £25 million ($33m) asset on Borussia Dortmund’s books at just 17 years of age.

A meteoric rise to prominence has been enjoyed by the promising midfielder over the course of the last 12 months.

A senior debut was handed to him by Birmingham at the age of 16 years and 38 days, with Bellingham not looking back from that point.
