Jude Bellingham has been named the Bundesliga's player of the season.

The England midfielder won the award just two days after his club Borussia Dortmund missed out on the Bundesliga title to Bayern Munich on goal difference.

He has made more than 130 appearances since joining Dortmund from Birmingham for £20million three years ago.

Bellingham, who turns 20 next month, captained Dortmund this season to become the club's youngest-ever captain. He scored 14 goals in all competitions.

He has been linked to a move this summer, with Real Madrid among those interested.
