Borussia Dortmund are reportedly the 'favourites' to sign Birmingham City midfielder Jude Bellingham this summer despite the presence of Manchester United.

The 16-year-old has been in outstanding form for the Blues during the 2019-20 campaign, contributing four goals and three assists in 32 Championship appearances.

United are believed to have already shown the teenager around their training ground as they attempt to secure his signature ahead of the 2020-21 season.

Dortmund have also been consistently linked with the England Under-17 international in recent months, though, and according to The Mirror, the German side are the 'favourites' to land the midfielder.

Bellingham's current deal at St Andrew's will expire at the end of next season, suggesting that the Championship side will cash in this summer.

Chelsea and Liverpool have also previously been credited with an interest.
