19-year-old Jobe Bellingham has made a strong first impression at Borussia Dortmund since his move from Sunderland.

Speaking to local outlet Ruhr Nachrichten, Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl praised the young Englishman enthusiastically.

"He’s clearly in rhythm, having played further into the season. He’s a good kid - very open, but also possesses a winning mentality, the right discipline and professionalism,” said Kehl.

“Jobe has already made his mark in training during the first few days. That’s why we’re glad to have completed the deal before the Club World Cup. 

“He will strengthen us - not just for this tournament, but hopefully for many years to come.”

Dortmund will face Brazilian side Fluminense in their opening Club World Cup match on Tuesday.
