The Stourbridge born prodigy has been in headlines recently amid rumours of a transfer to Liverpool this summer.

But in the midst of all the fame and drama, Jude has been putting in a shift for Bundesliga side, Dortmund, week in week out.

The league leaders smashed Frankfurt in a 4-0 victory this weekend (22 April), with Jude opening the scoring with a superb spinning-touch and composed finish.

After the match, the 19-year-old superstar delighted a young fan by throwing her his match worn shirt.

To the surrounding fans’ horror, the girl’s mother took the shirt, put it to her nose and deeply inhaled.

The now viral video has since been posted to Twitter and amassed over 1.6 million views.

Many viewers were disgusted by the shirt sniffer’s antics, while others admitted they would’ve also been keen to smell the sweat soaked top.

One Twitter user wrote: “I feel sick”.

Another said: “What happened to shame.”

Some of Bellingham’s biggest fans took a more honest approach however, with a third stating: “I’d do the same tbh”.

The former Birmingham City midfielder will now attempt to put the shirt sniffer’s actions behind him, as he turns his attention to Dortmund’s next match against VfL Bochum.
