After Chelsea’s win over Borussia Dortmund, journalist Carrie Brown says that Jude Bellingham embraced Todd Boehly and Graham Potter and shook their hands.
Particularly since the American took over the club about a year ago, the youngster has reportedly been the club’s long-term target.
The Blues’ 2-0 victory over the Bundesliga’s top team at Stamford Bridge yesterday evening was by far their best performance of the year.
Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz each scored once, and their goals were enough to overturn a deficit from the first leg and secure their spots in the quarterfinals of the competition.
Of course, Bellingham’s side was hurt as a result. The England international might feel that last night, on the biggest platform, he might have accomplished more.
Brown, though, insists that he still behaved professionally when he left the field and met with Chelsea officials after the game.
Bellingham polite to Boehly
She said: “Bellingham is an incredibly polite player and gave both Boehly and Potter a hug and a handshake when he left the tunnel.
“Dortmund Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl reiterated to me tonight that the club will do all they can to keep him.”
The teenager is going to be the subject of a mega transfer saga this summer, with the majority of elite clubs in Europe looking to bring him in.
In an attempt to find the best match for current club-record signing Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea is set to return to the market.
The former Benfica player made his second straight appearance in which the new system seemed to bring out the best in him, and he was quite excellent.
When the quarterfinals roll around in a few weeks, he will undoubtedly have the chance to play with N’golo Kante.
