Birmingham City midfielder Jude Bellingham has sent a passionate message to Blues fans on social media, ahead of the Championship clash with Preston North End at St Andrew's tomorrow.

The teenage sensation came off the bench to score the winner on his home debut against Stoke City a few weeks ago and also netted the winner on his first league start against Charlton Athletic last time out, much to the delight of the Birmingham fans.
