Chelsea consider a late swoop for Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham as an ideal alternative to Declan Rice, according to a report.

Chelsea are reportedly considering a late swoop for Borussia Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham.

The 18-year-old arrived at BVB from Birmingham City in the summer of 2020 and has taken little time to settle in to life in Germany, scoring four goals and assisting five more in 46 games across all competitions last term.

Bellingham snubbed interest from Manchester United to complete a move to the Westfalenstadion, but Chelsea have been tipped to move for the teenager during the current transfer window.

According to Eurosport, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich would be keen to strike a deal for Bellingham should the club fail in their bid to lure Declan Rice away from West Ham United.

However, Bellingham's contract with Dortmund does not expire until the summer of 2025, and he is not thought to be in any rush to leave Marco Rose's side.

The midfielder made three substitute appearances for England at Euro 2020 and is expected to start when Dortmund face Bayern Munich in Tuesday's DFL-Supercup clash.
