# Chelsea still hopeful of signing Jude Bellingham

**[Chelsea](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/) ‘have not given up hope’ of signing Borussia Dortmund superstar [Jude Bellingham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/jude-bellingham/) this summer, according to journalist Jacob Steinberg.**

### The Lowdown: Bellingham a wanted man

The 19-year-old is one of world football’s most talked-about players currently, ahead of what is likely to be a ferocious auction for his signature this summer.

Bellingham is expected to leave Dortmund at the end of the season and Chelsea are one of several [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clubs who have been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/chelsea-premier-league-jude-bellingham-transfers-news-updates/) with signing him.

It is a saga that is continually being discussed and despite [rumours](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2023/03/jude-bellingham-wants-to-play-for-liverpool-everyone-knows-that/) of Liverpool edging closer it appears the Blues are far from out of the picture, following a new update.

### The Latest: Chelsea still hopeful

According to [*The Guardian*](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/mar/09/mason-mount-jude-bellingham-harry-kane-manchester-united-summer-target-list?CMP=share_btn_tw)‘s Steinberg, Chelsea still believe they are in the mix to sign Bellingham during the summer window:

> “Chelsea have not given up hope of landing the England international.”

### The Verdict: Feels fairly unlikely

While this is encouraging in some ways, Chelsea do arguably feel like one of the outsiders to sign Bellingham, with Liverpool possibly the [standout](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/jude-bellingham-borussia-dortmund-latest-transfer-rumours-updates/) English club in the race.

Whoever acquires the [22-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jude-bellingham/profil/spieler/581678) England international will certainly be getting a special talent, with even Roy Keane [tipping](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11501209/Roy-Keane-heaps-praise-superstar-Jude-Bellingham-England-triumph-Senegal.html) him to be a ‘superstar’ in the game.

Granted, Bellingham didn’t affect the game too much on Tuesday, as Chelsea beat Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League, but he could be sensational alongside Enzo Fernandez, in what would be an exciting new-look Blues midfield.

He has [ten goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/379868/Show/Jude-Bellingham) to his name this season, as well as one at the 2022 [World Cup](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/world-cup-2022/), while an average of [3.2 tackles per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/379868/Show/Jude-Bellingham) in Qatar also outlines his defensive expertise.
