Comparisons to Jude are no doubt tiring for Jobe, but there is a reason they are made.
In fact, the timing of his runs into the penalty area are reminiscent of another English midfielder.
“It’s easy sometimes as a midfielder to just pass the ball then stand still,” former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel told Dazn.
“But no, he wants to arrive late in the box. He wants to be there when the ball drops.
“He reminds me of a certain player I played with, Frank Lampard. 20-odd goals every season by being there and arriving at the right time. I think he’s going to score a lot of goals for Dortmund.
“What I like about him is he’s very direct. Once he has the ball he’s looking up, he’s passing forwards, running forwards. He wants to arrive at the box at the right time, and that’s exactly what he did.
“The chest control and the volley – he wouldn’t have scored this goal if he hadn’t passed and then run forwards.”
Former Italy and Inter Milan forward Christian Vieri said: “He’s going to score a lot of goals because he’s always going towards the goal – he looks like his brother, the movements are exactly the same.”
Should Dortmund and Real Madrid both win their respective Club World Cup groups and win in the last 16, then the Bellingham brothers would face each other in a quater-final clash in New Jersey.
