“Thank you to everyone at BVB and to the fans for everything over the past three years. It was an honour to wear the shirt so many times, in moments big and small. Even though I’m looking forward to my next destination, I’ll never forget the journey I took to get there. Once a Borusse, always a Borusse. All the best for the future. Heja BVB!,” said Bellingham on his departure.
