Real Madrid signing Bellingham: An honour to have represented Borussia Dortmund

Real Madrid signing Jude Bellingham has paid tribute to Borussia Dortmund.

Bellingham's move to Real was confirmed yesterday as he leaves BVB for an initial fee of €103m.

"Where to start, for the last three years Borussia Dortmund has been the biggest part of my life. I joined as a 17-year-old boy and I'm leaving as a man," said Bellingham in a statement.

"I cannot thank this club enough for everything it's done for me. The opportunities, the experiences, the highs and even the lows.

"All of it has been part of what has been a great development both as a human and a player.

"I am honoured to have represented this football club as often as I have, I'd like to thank all the players, managers, bosses and members of staff that have played a role in my time at the club.

"I'll always keep a place for BVB in my heart and will never forget the impact the values of the club has had on my life... I wish the club nothing but the best for the future."
