BVB chief Kehl: No pressure to sell Bellingham

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has given an update on the future of Jude Bellingham.

The central midfielder is in demand this summer, after an outstanding world Cup in Qatar with England.

However, Kehl insists that Bellingham is not leaving in January, as there have been no offers for the 19-year-old.

Dortmund's sporting director told Kicker: "Jude has made an incredible development here. With the way he plays football, his fighting spirit and his commitment, he has become a real Borussia player who identifies very much with BVB."

Kehl, previously a Dortmund midfielder, added: "I can't say today if and when that will be the case with Jude, and from a purely sporting point of view I would be stupid to want to give up Jude Bellingham.

“We'll talk to him and his parents in due course. There is currently no pressure. Jude wants to concentrate fully on football. And by the way, there are no offers at all."
