Borussia Dortmund and Bellingham make new transfer decision

While the summer signing from Sunderland has struggled to handle the demands of the Bundesliga in his first months with Dortmund, both player and club are determined to persist, says BILD.

While a return to Sunderland has been mooted in January, with Manchester United and Tottenham also watching developments, Bellingham wants to stay and prove himself in Germany.

For their part, Dortmund management also want Bellingham to stay, convinced by his ability and potential.

Even a "crazy offer" wouldn't bring Dortmund to the negotiating table, despite the 20 year-old's current inconsistencies.
