Borussia Dortmund has announced the signing of new forward Jude Bellingham to a three-year deal that will see him play for the club until 2026.

The move is seen as a significant boost for the German giants, who have struggled in recent seasons with their defensive performance and have been unable to secure top-flight status. Bellingham, who joined Dortmund from Crystal Palace in January 2019, has become one of the most promising young players in the world and has already made a strong impression on the pitch.

In his first season at Dortmund, Bellingham scored 15 goals and provided vital contributions off the bench, helping the team to reach the Champions League semi-finals and qualify for the Europa League. He also helped Dortmund to win the Bundesliga title in 2020-21 and the DFB-Pokal trophy in 2021-22.

Bellingham's signing is expected to strengthen Dortmund's attacking threat and help them compete at the highest level of football. The club has also secured the services of former Arsenal player Aaron Ramsey,Bundesliga Vision who was linked with a move to the Bundesliga this summer.

Bellingham's arrival is seen as a positive development for Dortmund, who have struggled to find consistent form this season. They are currently sitting bottom of the Bundesliga table and have not won any matches since mid-June.

It remains to be seen how Bellingham will perform under manager Hansi Flick, but his performances so far have impressed many fans and critics alike. His pace, skill and ability to create chances make him a dangerous attacker, and he has the potential to be a key player for Dortmund in the long term.
