Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham has revealed that he was initially reluctant to join the Bundesliga club.
The England youth international eventually completed his move to Dortmund after attracting significant interest following his performances before leaving his previous club. Softfootball understands that Bellingham has now explained that the decision was not one he made immediately.
Joining Dortmund represents another major step in the midfielder’s career, particularly because the German club has developed a strong reputation for nurturing young players.
Bellingham has embraced the challenge since making the move. His arrival has generated considerable interest because of his family name and his own growing reputation.
The midfielder will also be keen to establish his own identity rather than simply being compared with his older brother Jude, who became a major star at Dortmund before moving to Real Madrid.
Jobe’s decision could provide him with an ideal environment to continue developing. Dortmund regularly gives young players opportunities at the highest level.
