Sancho key as Bellingham to choose BVB over Man Utd

Birmingham City whiz Jude Bellingham is set to join Borussia Dortmund, it has been claimed.

The Mirror says Bellingham will join Borussia Dortmund this summer – in a deal that could net Birmingham City more than £25million.

Brum's teenage whizz-kid turns 17 on Monday and has given the nod to the German giants over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United.

And the decision to trace the path blazed by former Manchester City youngster Jadon Sancho was a key factor in swapping the west Midlands for the Yellow and Blacks.

The player's dad, Mark, has played a key part in his footballing upbringing and, according to sources at the Second City club, has always kept a keen eye on Sancho's progress in the Bundesliga.
