Birmingham City are confident keeping hold of teenage whiz Jude Bellingham this month.

The Mirror says Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have both been in contact while Arsenal and Manchester United are regular visitors to St Andrew's.

However, there is no push from the Bellingham camp for the boyhood Bluenose to move on – and that will be crucial as contract talks intensify during the coming months.

Sources close to the family have indicated that the player's dad, Mark Bellingham, a prolific scorer during his days as a forward in the non-league, recognises that as long as his son is happy and developing by playing first-team football that there is no need to chase big money.

Bellingham has also rejected several moves by big-name agents – all of whom are scrambling over themselves to be appointed as the youngster's representatives.
