Liverpool keen on signing Jude Bellingham

Liverpool are reportedly prepared to up their efforts to secure a deal for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.

Bellingham has been impressive for Dortmund since arriving from Birmingham City in July 2020, netting six goals and providing eight assists in 54 appearances for the German outfit in all competitions.

The 18-year-old attacker is believed to be admired by a number of English clubs, with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City are all linked with moves.

According to German journalist Christian Falk, Liverpool are also “very interested” in the teenager, but it is likely that he will spend at least one more full season at Westfalenstadion.

“Of course it’s true, Liverpool are very interested, but Jurgen Klopp has inhibitions about signing Dortmund players,” Falk told Bild. “The contact with the club is also relatively good, so that will be difficult, especially since he still has a longer contract.

“I think he will end up on the island at some point, but, unlike [Erling Braut] Haaland, Dortmund fans can be hopeful that he will definitely play at least one more season.”

Bellingham scored two goals and registered four assists in eight appearances for Dortmund this season.
