<p>Bellingham has wasted little time in making an impression at Dortmund, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/borussia-dortmund-jobe-bellingham-seven-goal-club-world-cup-mamelodi-sundowns/bltacf32e0660400114" target="_blank">scoring on his first start for the club in a victory over Mamelodi Sundowns at the Club World Cup</a>. The 19-year-old has followed in famous <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jobe-bellingham-draw-comparisons-with-brother-jude-scoring-first-borussia-dortmund-start/blte8c441495f7442cd#cs43e2137b809261d4" target="_blank">brother Jude's footsteps in making the switch to the Bundesliga side</a> and will be aware that his sibling also scored on his first Dortmund start all the way back in 2020.</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Jobe will undoubtedly attract comparisons with his brother due to his move to Dortmund but former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel thinks he's more like Lampard. Mikel highlighted Bellingham's ability to arrive late into the box as a key feature of his play and thinks he will enjoy scoring plenty of goals during his time in Germany.</p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" class="logo" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every FIFA Club World Cup game free on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/destination:https://www.dazn.com/welcome/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He told DAZN: "It's easy sometimes as a midfielder to just pass the ball then stand still. But no, he wants to arrive late in the box. He wants to be there when the ball drops. He reminds me of a certain player I played with, Frank Lampard. 20-odd goals every season by being there and arriving at the right time. I think he's going to score a lot of goals for Dortmund. What I like about him is he's very direct. Once he has the ball he's looking up, he's passing forwards, running forwards. He wants to arrive at the box at the right time, and that's exactly what he did. The chest control and the volley - he wouldn't have scored this goal if he hadn't passed and then run forwards."</p>

WHAT OBI MIKEL SAID

<p>Bellingham and Dortmund are back in action at the Club World Cup on Wednesday against South Korean side Ulsan in Ohio.</p><p></p>
