Birmingham City recently shared some training footage featuring Jude Bellingham via a tweet that has caught the attention of some Blues fans.
The Blues recently took to Twitter to share an eight-second video featuring footage of Bellingham performing a training drill. He can be seen dribbling between some cones and a couple of slalom poles before curling the ball into the far corner of the goal in front of him.
This footage has drawn a positive response from many of the Birmingham supporters who have been reacting to it.
Finish, @BellinghamJude ?

Plenty of Blues fans praised Bellingham’s quality in response to this post, with one supporter seemingly drawing a comparison between the 16-year-old midfielder and Argentinian legend Diego Maradona.

One Blues fan took the opportunity to respond to this tweet to state that they feel it would be “crazy to sell” the midfielder, with Bellingham having been linked with clubs such as Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund in recent months.
Keep him for at least another season! Crazy to sell our best asset ????

Despite being just 16 years old, it may be fair to say that Bellingham has played a fairly significant role for the Blues in the Championship this season. He has featured in 32 of Birmingham’s 37 league games this term, earning an average overall rating of 6.79/10 according to WhoScored, which ranks him as the club’s joint-sixth highest rated player for the 2019/20 campaign.
With that in mind, it may not come as a surprise that this footage of the Birmingham City academy product has gone down well with plenty of Blues supporters.
