Thomas Tuchel is looking to evolve his squad after taking the reins from Frank Lampard
The Blues are looking to evolve under Thomas Tuchel following a dramatic upturn in performances since he replaced Frank Lampard, and the club are keen to bring in a midfielder.
Previous manager Lampard saw fellow England international Declan Rice as the missing piece of the jigsaw in midfield, however there is reportedly now a growing feeling that Bellingham would be the better fit at Stamford Bridge.
However, Chelsea will find it extremely tough to get their man with Bundesliga outfit Dortmund set to play hardball over their teenage sensation.
Dortmund will be desperate to keep hold of star players Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho this summer amid heavy interest in their services, while they will not want to lose Bellingham either – with the trio the key stars in the team.
The report goes onto say that Bellingham would be happy to stay at Dortmund for the time being even if the club miss out on Champions League football come the end of the season.
However, he does intend to test himself in the Premier League in the future and Chelsea will be in hot pursuit of him this summer.
