Borussia Dortmund are about to beat Chelsea, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and most notably Manchester United to the signing of Jude Bellingham, Sky Sports report.

It is understood that the yougster has travelled to Germany for a medical ahead of his proposed transfer from Birmingham City to Dortmund.

Although Bellingham had not signed a professional contract with the Blues, it is understood they will receive a transfer fee in excess of the £26m.

Sky Sports reports that the Bundesliga club have courted the midfielder, who turned 17 in June, for more than two years, amid stiff competition from most of Europe's top teams.

Reports believe that the England U17 skipper has chosen Dortmund due to the club's long history of developing young talent and their policy of giving them the chance to play in the Bundesliga.

Bellingham will see out the remainder of the season at the Midlands club and is in the matchday squad for Saturday's Championship clash at Fulham.
