I swear Jude Bellingham signed a 5 year deal at Dortmund. 

might be different laws in Germany but in this country a minor cannot sign a 5 year contract

It's a FIFA rule so don't think it's any different in this country but you might be right.

Rangers have a bit of a thing for our former youth players - surprised it has taken him this long to get picked up by a club, though he looked okay from what I saw of him last season

How common is it for academy players his age to sign deals with major brands? Is it just par for the course or an indication of how highly he's rated?

To sign for Nike I’d guess quite significant as clubs sponsored by Adidas so naturally the lads get Adidas boots I think unless on a deal?

Dempsey Arlott-John had a deal with Adidas. Don't know if he still does. Most of the u23s and u18s will have some sort of deal with various manufacturers I am led to believe. Depends how good their agent is I guess.

He had surgery last summer, think it's taken him several months to work his way back. Surprised he didn't get a longer contract, left footed defenders aren't exactly that well stocked at our place.

Will Alves had a deal with Adidas when he was 13 or something ridiculous like that.

Do dortmund have any history of loaning young players in ?  They usually buy them and sell on for a tidy profit …..

 

 

Dunno for their first team, but their U23/B Team play in the German third division, they currently have a couple of young players there on loan from other German clubs (ones whose B Teams are lower down in the pyramid). Freiburg's B Team are also in the third division and have another club's youngster on loan there, and Bayern Munich's B Team did the same before they were relegated.
