Morgan Rogers lets out a little chuckle. "Yeah it would be nice to play with him one day, I don't want to play him against him anymore!" he laughs.

The 19-year-old will have his pick of clubs should he depart Germany in the summer. Manchester City will be in the conversation and naturally Rogers would love to see Bellingham join him in the ranks at the Etihad.

The two are good pals having risen together from youth football in the Midlands to joining two of the leading clubs on the continent.
