    Dortmund's latest signing Bellingham followed in the footsteps of his elder brother, Jude, and made his debut for the German giants in the side's opening game of the Club World Cup on Tuesday.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The 19-year-old completed his record-breaking move from Sunderland for a fee of €33 million (£28m/$38m) and joined his new team-mates for training in the United States to prepare for the ongoing Club World Cup. Bellingham, as expected, came on as a substitute in the 59th-minute, after head coach Niko Kovac had explained why the English midfielder will not be starting games right off the bat.
