'Bellingham is bursting with confidence' - Borussia Dortmund coach praises teenager's impact

Borussia Dortmund's head of first-team football Sebastian Kehl has praised Jude Bellingham's impact on the squad, insisting the teenager "is bursting with confidence".

Dortmund snapped Bellingham up from Birmingham City for an initial £25 million (€28m/$33m) fee in July, having seen him enjoy a breakout 2019-20 season at St. Andrew's.

The transfer saw the midfielder become the most expensive teenager in the history of the game, and he is now aiming to follow in the footsteps of Jadon Sancho, who has established himself as one of the finest English exports of the modern era since moving to Westfalenstadion from Manchester City in 2017.
