Chelsea are reportedly preparing to bid big for Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham next summer, according to Matt Law.

See below as Law provides an update on Chelsea’s pursuit of Bellingham, suggesting they’ll very much be in the race for the England international, though it won’t be money that ultimately decides where he ends up going…

Chelsea have shown plenty of ambition in the transfer market under new owner Todd Boehly, who brought in a host of big names such as Raheem Sterling, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Wesley Fofana during the summer.
Bellingham looks like he has the potential to be a generational talent, so it would be some statement if CFC could get in ahead of the likes of Liverpool for this signing.
Jurgen Klopp urgently needs a major investment in midfield like this, so it would have the potential to majorly mess up the Reds’ transfer plans if Bellingham moved to Stamford Bridge instead.
