“With this message Birmingham has already wanted to say hello to their ex-player Jude Bellingham. The 17-year-old midfielder, spent at Borussia Dortmund for 30m euros, has received a honour that has been reserved for football legends, despite his youth. His number, 22, in the future, cannot be kept by anyone. A special gesture to the club in which Bellingham was the youngest debuter, only 16.
“In such a short time, Judea became a ikeonic figure for the club, showing what can be achieved through talent, the hard work of dedication” has praised Birmingham in the communique posted on the official page.
Forever our #22.
Good luck at @BVB, Jude! ?
