Jude Bellingham is a player on everyone’s lips right now, after starting for England against Austria aged just 17.

If Eurosport are to be trusted, the teenager’s name is also on the lips of Jürgen Klopp and those involved in recruitment at Liverpool.

Bellingham joined Borussia Dortmund from Birmingham back in July for a fee of £25 million, making him the most expensive 17-year-old ever.

While some might think he joined the German side as one for the future, he has already become a key player at the Signal Iduna Park.

Impressively, Bellingham made 46 appearances in his debut season with Borussia Dortmund, scoring four goals while providing four assists.

Now, his phenomenal season has been crowned with an award

Jude Bellingham – Bundesliga Newcomer of the Year

The wonderkid has been named Bundesliga Newcomer of the Year following his fantastic season for Borussia Dortmund.

Bellingham beat off competition from Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirth to win the award.

Interestingly, the Bundesliga’s players voted for him, as the voting was organised within the German Players’ Association.

Clearly, Bellingham is already highly rated by his peers over in Germany.

To leave your hometown club and move aboard at just 17 is such a brave thing to do, so for the transfer to have gone this well is testament to Bellingham’s ability.

He has already won many fans across Europe, and has clearly won the respect of his fellow footballers in the Bundesliga.

If Liverpool even have a glimmer of a chance to sign him, they have to do it.

At this rate, Bellingham will be worth over £200 million in no time.
