Dortmund Finally Get Their Man<\/h3>\n

Dortmund has been heavily linked with Bellingham since the teenager made his breakthrough at St Andrew’s this season.<\/p>\n

Impressive Bellingham<\/h3>\n

Bellingham enjoyed an impressive breakthrough senior season at Birmingham in the Championship this season. He made 41 appearances in all competitions for the Blues, scoring four league goals.<\/p>\n

Making his senior debut at just 16-years-old, Bellingham quickly established himself in Birmingham’s midfield. He scored two goals in his first two senior starts at the club in August and September.<\/p>\n

Despite being a utility across Birmingham’s midfield this season, Dortmund look set to use the youngster as a central midfielder<\/a> in the future.<\/p>\n
