Birmingham boss Clotet eager to keep hold of Man Utd target Bellingham

Birmingham City boss Pep Clotet is eager to keep hold of Jude Bellingham.

Bellingham, 16, has been attracting scouts from a number of top clubs, including Manchester United.

“The only thing I can say is that I have a lot of conversations with Jude to help him make the best of himself, as well as the players having a lot of conversations with him, and he has never mentioned anything else," said Clotet.

“I have never seen him not focused on us, and only on us. The club hasn't mentioned anything to me about Jude Bellingham.

“It's normal that the scouts are coming and I think that's good for us. It's good for the club to attract this kind of attention. We have a lot of good players here, not only Jude, so they might see someone else and that's only good for everyone.

“I think Jude is very committed to doing his best for this club."
