Bellingham's meteoric rise has seen him go from Birmingham City breakthrough star to Bundesliga regular to England Euro 2020 squad member. It has been a remarkable rise for the Borussia Dortmund midfielder who goes into the Euros at the tender age of 17. But the former Stourbridge schoolboy, who moved to Germany with his mother Denise last summer, acknowledges he still has lots to learn. Bellingham's academic work has always been important to him and his family despite his burgeoning reputation as one of Europe's brightest talents. So much so that having left Edgbaston's Priory School in Birmingham he is still studying - working towards a BTEC in sport as well as attemptint to learn to speak German.

"I find it tough to speak German  the way these guys pronounce the words is pretty weird to me, but Im grasping more and more. "Luckily, everyone speaks English very well. The coaches prefer to speak in German, but theres always someone to translate. "Now Ive been here for several months, if I pick up three words in a sentence, thats enough to piece together what the coach is on about. Its all good."
