Dortmund agree £31m deal to sign Sunderland's Bellingham
Jobe Bellingham is yet to win his first cap for England's senior team [Getty Images] Borussia Dortmund have agreed a deal with Sunderland to sign Jobe Bellingham for an initial 32m euros (£26.96m) plus 5m euros (£4.2m) in add-ons. The 19-year-old midfielder had garnered interest from across Europe but it is Dortmund, former home of elder brother Jude, who are set to secure his signature. Advertisement Bellingham has played for Sunderland since 2023 and helped them secure Premier League promotion this past season, making 43 appearances for the Black Cats and scoring four goals across all competitions. The England youth international started his career at Birmingham City, coming through the academy before playing two years of senior football for the club. Borussia Dortmund experienced an inconsistent season in 2024-25 but had a strong finish to the campaign winning their final five matches to finish fourth and secure Champions League football for next season. If the deal is completed by 10 June, Bellingham would be able to play in the upcoming Club World Cup. Advertisement That tournament takes place in the United States from 14 June to 13 July. Bellingham has been named in the European Under-21 Championship, to be held in Slovakia from 11-28 June, but England boss Lee Carsley has said he will release players so they can compete in the Club World Cup. Mirroring his brother It is thought Bellingham is keen to follow in his brother's footsteps. Jude, two years Jobe's senior, also came through Birmingham City's academy before moving to Dortmund in 2020 and then Real Madrid in 2023. Bellingham is already mirroring his brother's career with the move to Dortmund and he was also named the Championship's Young Player of the Year in May, five years after Jude won the same award.

Why Chelsea want to sign Jamie Gittens
Jamie Gittens looks set to become the latest member of Chelsea's creche. According to The Athletic, personal terms between the 20-year-old and the West London club have already been agreed, but Borussia Dortmund rejected their latest offer. His reported seven-year contract would keep him at Stamford Bridge until he's 27, so long as the move works out for all parties, of course. It's an investment in the future, something Chelsea have done a lot of recently, so why is Gittens the latest to be of interest? Filling a hole For all the money they've spent, the left-wing position is a weird one at Chelsea. Jadon Sancho has been unceremoniously sent back to Man United, Joao Felix doesn't appear to have any future at the club, and Mykhaylo Mudryk is nowhere to be seen. Advertisement Gittens is a pure left-winger, although he has been deployed in the number ten and as a wing-back previously at Dortmund. He's also right-footed, preferring to cut in and take on a defender and shoot rather than whip in balls, exactly the type of winger that Enzo Maresca seems to love. The fact that he's young and English is a huge plus. If Chelsea's recent transfer activity is anything to go by, they want the club to be a destination for the best young home-grown talent, filling the squad with top-class international talent when necessary. Man City connections Chelsea's Man City links run deep. Cole Palmer is obviously the most prominent; he's become one of the best players in the league since swapping Manchester for London, but there are plenty of other connections between the two clubs, especially behind the scenes. Advertisement Enzo Maresca, and the two directors Joe Shields and Laurence Stewart have all spent time with the Man City academy before moving on and eventually ending up at Chelsea. Those connections are valuable when it comes to learning a player's ability at attitude. Gittens is just the latest on a long list of players who have spent time at the two clubs, and the way things are going, he's very unlikely to be the last. An opportunity in the market Chelsea aren't afraid to pursue what they believe to be an opportunity in the market. Back in January, Dortmund were valuing Gittens at around €100 million, now, it's looking like the youngster will cost around half that after their latest offer of €35 million was rejected. Advertisement Despite what a lot of people may think, Chelsea don't just sign players for the sake of it. In today's market, for a position they've been looking to bolster, the deal for Gittens makes a lot of sense from a financial standpoint. They'll also be aware of his pretty drastic drop-off in form since the turn of the year. Gittens scored 12 goals and provided three assists in his 48 games last season, but only three of those goal contributions came this year. Verdict It's a relatively low-risk deal for Chelsea, so long as they don't pay more than the reported £50 million asking price. Gittens still has a long way to go; he's far from the finished article, but in the right environment and with the right coaching, he could be a quality player. Get Football | Alex Roberts
