English players to play for Borussia Dortmund

In light of Jobe Bellingham's move to Borussia Dortmund, we take a look at every English player to represent BVB.

Eight-time Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League winners Borussia Dortmund have enjoyed a long 115-year history but the first Englishman to represent Die Schwarzgelben only joined in 2017.

Sancho has been somewhat of a trailblazer for the English contingent at the Westfalenstadion with three more players going on to makes appearances for the club.

Jadon Sancho

Leaving the Manchester City academy for £17.5m in 2017, there was a great deal of hype surrounding Jadon Sancho's switch to the Bundesliga outfit.

Initially, he took some time to bed in at his new club but his performances skyrocketed during his second season.

Sancho scored 12 goals and assisted a further 18 in the league which made him the youngest Dortmund player in history to register double-figures for goals in a single campaign.

The next two seasons continued on a similar trajectory with a DFB-Pokal victory the perfect sign off before he left for Manchester United in a deal worth £72m.

Struggles in Manchester would see Sancho return on loan to Dortmund where his improved form would earn him a start in the UEFA Champions League final.

Jude Bellingham

After breaking numerous records at Birmingham City, Jude Bellingham had clubs from all over Europe wanting his signature but it was Borussia Dortmund who won the race making him the most expensive 17-year-old of all-time.

Bellingham enjoyed a stellar time in Germany.

The midfielder was named Bundesliga Newcomer of the Season during his first campaign as well as finishing runner-up to Pedri in the 2021 Kopa Trophy.

His second season proved that he was no flash in the pan either - taking home the Bundesliga Player of the Season award before joining Real Madrid for a fee just shy of £100m.

Jamie Gittens

It feels as if Jamie Gittens' Borussia Dortmund is yet to really take off but it's looking likely that he may have played his last game for the German side.

Initial struggles with injury kept Gittens from having an impact immediately following his move from Manchester City but his game time shot up during his second season.

Aged just 20, the England U21 international has made over a century of appearances for Dortmund with his impressive performances garnering huge attraction from across Europe with Chelsea the reported frontrunners for his signature.

Carney Chukwuemeka

Carney Chukwuemeka is another player who has been hampered by injuries but he has shown great potential in the games he has played so far.

His £15m move from Aston Villa to Chelsea showed early promise but injury problems led to the 21-year-old making a loan switch to Borussia Dortmund.

With just 13 games to his name at BVB, he is yet to make a real impact at the club however a successful Club World Cup campaign could kickstart his career abroad.
