European transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Birmingham City starlet Jude Bellingham is on the verge of a move to Borussia Dortmund.
Bellingham, a 17-year-old midfielder, came up through Birmingham’s youth ranks.
The English youth international had been viewed as one of the finest talents on the books at St. Andrew’s for some time, eventually resulting in Bellingham, despite his tender years, being introduced to the club’s first-team setup ahead of the current campaign.
And to say that the teen has since gone on to impress at senior level would be putting it lightly.
Incredibly, Bellingham has featured in all but 5 of Birmingham’s 44 Championship fixtures to this point in the campaign.
The midfielder has even chipped in with 4 goals and 2 assists across these appearances.

As such, Bellingham’s impressive, but above all mature displays at the heart of the Blues’ midfield this season have inevitably resulted in speculation that he has been added to the respective wishlists of a number of not only English football’s giants, but top clubs throughout Europe.
Recent months have seen all of Manchester United, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich named as keen suitors of the midfielder.
It is United and Dortmund, though, who had long been viewed as the favourites to actually push through a summer deal.
Bellingham is even thought to have been given a guided tour of the former’s Carrington training base.

Despite the best efforts of those at Old Trafford, though, if the latest word stemming from the media this evening is to be believed, then Manchester United have missed out on Bellingham’s signature.
Instead, the teenage sensation is headed for Germany.
Bellingham has opted to follow in the footsteps of fellow English youngster Jadon Sancho, by taking his talents to Signal Iduna Park.
As revealed by the always reliable Fabrizio Romano a short time ago, the Birmingham man has undertaken his medical, and put pen-to-paper on a contract with Borussia Dortmund.
As such, an official announcement now appears imminent.
