The 19-year-old completed his record-breaking move from Sunderland for a fee of €33 million (£28m/$38m) and joined his new team-mates for training in the United States to prepare for the ongoing Club World Cup. Bellingham, as expected, came on as a substitute in the 59th-minute, after head coach Niko Kovac had explained why the English midfielder will not be starting games right off the bat.

Taking to Instagram, Bellingham posted a number of photos from his Dortmund debut and wrote: "Very proud to have my debut in black & yellow. Big games coming up.. Just the beginning."
