BVB plan to get a club record fee for Bellingham. The 19-year-old joined the Bundesliga giants in the summer of 2020 from Birmingham City and has developed into a world-class talent in a short space of time.

The England international immediately made his place in the German outfit’s starting lineup when he arrived. In the current campaign, the midfielder has become one of their leaders.

Bellingham has been impressive at Dortmund this season. Edin Terzic has also trusted the youngster with the captain’s armband on a few occasions.

Newcastle have been a revelation in the English top flight in the current campaign. Eddie Howe’s team are firmly in place to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League. The Magpies also have the opportunity to get their hands on silverware, with Man United their opponents in the Carabao Cup final.

The Red Devils are in a bit of a midfield crisis at the moment. We signed Marcel Sabitzer on deadline day in January, with Casemiro and Fred the only two established midfielders in the squad.
