Borussia Dortmund 'complete Jude Bellingham signing'

Borussia Dortmund have reportedly won the race to sign Birmingham City teenager Jude Bellingham.

The 17-year-old's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent months, having caught the attention of a number of clubs with his performances in the Championship this season.

Manchester United have been strongly lined with the midfielder and are believed to have shown him around their training ground earlier this year.

However, according to Bild, Dortmund have now completed a deal for the Englishman, with the German giants set to pay €23m (£20.7m) for a player who has scored four times and registered three assists in 35 Championship appearances during the 2019-20 campaign.

The report claims that Bellingham has agreed a five-year contract with Lucien Favre's side, although it remains to be seen whether he will have the chance to play alongside Manchester United-linked Jadon Sancho next season.

Bayern Munich had also been credited with an interest in the versatile midfielder.
