Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund has been named the best player in the Bundesliga for the 2022-2023 season.
Jude Bellingham almost led Borussia Dortmund to the Bundesliga title for the first time in 11 years, but a 2-2 draw with Mainz on the final day of the season prevented them from unseating eventual winners Bayern Munich.
Despite being only 19 years old, the English midfielder played a significant role in his team’s bid for the Bundesliga.
This season, the English midfielder scored eight goals and provided five assists in 31 league games, helping Dortmund to a second-place finish.
Every year that I’ve played at the club my responsibility has increased, Bellingham said after he was named the best player in Bundesliga.
I have to continue to be everywhere on the pitch and try my best to contribute going forwards and backward and try and control games and dominate the midfield.
My teammates, the coaches, and the staff have helped me to develop. I came to the club as a talented lad but I have added elements to my game that have taken it to the next level and I think that’s down to them, mainly.
Jude Bellingham is expected to sign a deal with Real Madrid worth more than 100 million euros this summer.
Liverpool dropped out of the race to sign the youngster last month due to his exorbitant price tag.
He transferred from Birmingham City to Dortmund for £25 million in 2020. He has played 130 games for the German club since then.
Bellingham also played 24 times for the Three Lions of England, helping them reach the quarter-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
