Jude Bellingham has impressed in Borussia Dortmund’s training camp, and it seems as if he was raised in Black and Yellows camps.

Most of the news coming out of Borussia Dortmund surrounds Jadon Sancho. The prolific English attacker has been linked with a move to Manchester United. 

Despite BVB reiterating their stance on Sancho, the rumor mill is not coming to a halt. It has been fuelled by former United players asking for his addition. Paul Scholes is the latest entrant in this discussion. 

Spotlight on Sancho has allowed Jude Bellingham to swiftly integrate in the Signal Iduna Park dressing room. BVB completed their training camp in Bad Ragaz and Bellingham gave a good account of his abilities. 

He combined together with Sancho to score the other night in a club-friendly. However, it is his performances in the training camp that have caught attention. 

Jesco von Eichmann was impressed by the Birmingham youth academy graduate. He shared that it seems as if Bellingham was brought up in his new environment. 

“Jude Bellingham played like he was born in Black and Yellow,” von Eichmann told Sky Sports.

“The young Englishman didn’t need any time to settle in and was the director in midfield. Despite his age, Bellingham has already come a long way and is making Axel Witsel and company look over their shoulders as competition for a place in the XI. 

“Favre wants to build Bellingham up slowly but he is definitely a candidate for a starting spot.”
