Dortmund make their move

It is not only Chelsea and Manchester City who are getting their transfer business in order for the Club World Cup. German giants Borussia Dortmund are also working hard in the market.

A fee for Sunderland's Jobe Bellingham is now in place for him to follow brother Jude Bellingham to the German club, while negotiations continue with Chelsea over Jamie Gittens.

BVB have already rejected one offer, but I expect Chelsea to come back with an improved deal.

Dortmund's fortunes were transformed by their late season run of seven wins in their final eight games to secure a place in next season's Champions League.

With Club World Cup finances to come - they are the only European team in their group so you would expect them to reach the last 16 and probably go further than that - they find themselves in a better negotiating position than it had appeared a couple of months ago.
