A 16-year-old from the Sky Bet Championship has been linked with a potential summer move to Bayern Munich<\/a> by The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

German Giants Chase Championship Teenage Sensation<\/h2>\n

From Birmingham To Munich<\/h3>\n

16-year-old Jude Bellingham is subject to transfer interest from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

The interest comes fresh off the back of the German side’s 7-2 demolition of Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Bellingham could become the latest in a series of English talents to make the move overseas to improve their careers. According to Mike McGrath of The Sun, Munich have added the 16-year-old to the list of teenagers they home to bring to Germany.<\/p>\n

The Blues midfielder has featured in six Sky Bet Championship fixtures so far this term; he has found the net twice, scoring against Charlton Athletic and Stoke City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to The Sun, scouts from a number of Europe’s elite sides travelled to Derby County to watch him last weekend; however, he was left as an unused substitute.<\/p>\n

European Interest<\/h3>\n

Bellingham’s red-hot form in the England youth set-up has led to high levels of interest from overseas.<\/p>\n

The England Under-17 international is a summer target for Bayern after they missed out on Chelsea<\/a>‘s Callum Hudson-Odoi. The Bundesliga leaders eventually settled for Jamal Musiala and Bright Akwo Arrey-Mbi instead after being unable to sign Hudson-Odoi.<\/p>\n

The 16-year-old captained England’s Under-17s to the Syrenka Cup last month; meanwhile, he has scored two goals in three games for the Young Lions and previously scored four goals in seven outings for the Under-16s.<\/p>\n

Record Breaker<\/h3>\n

Bellingham’s winner at Stoke on August 31st declared him as City’s youngest ever scorer, finding the net at 16 years and 63 days.<\/p>\n

Speaking about becoming a new record holder at St Andrews, Bellingham said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cIt was a dream come true. It\u2019s what I\u2019ve dreamt of since I was seven years old, as soon as I joined the Academy.<\/p>\n

\u201cA goal in front of the Tilton End, then into the crowd and that\u2019s exactly what happened! As soon as that ball hit the net, I was off to celebrate with my people!<\/p>\n

\u201cLukas had to save me from getting a booking but I\u2019m a fan as well, so me being in there felt like celebrating as a boy. Scoring here made it even more special.\u201d<\/p>\n
