Liverpool are keen on signing Jude Bellingham in the summer and Dortmund star Erling Haaland has heaped praise on the teenager.
During an interview with Football Daily, the goalscoring sensation was asked about his teammate and the qualities he possesses.
Liverpool look unlikely to do any business this month. As a result, the club are likely to go all out for at least one stellar signing in the summer.
It was claimed earlier this month by The Mirror that Bellingham is in Liverpool’s sights. The youngster has grown as a player since signing for Dortmund in 2020.
This season, his form has been breathtaking. The England man has scored four goals and claimed 10 assists from his 28 appearances in all competitions.
Haaland can’t speak highly enough of the 18-year-old. He sees his brilliance week in, week out and he thinks he’s set for a massive future.
The Norwegian told Football Daily: “He’s a really good person is Jude. He’s a phenomenal talent and I always play well with him, just as I did with Jadon (Sancho) last season. We have a really good connection on the pitch.”
Bellingham could leave Dortmund during the close season. He does have a contract until 2025, however, and he won’t come cheap to Liverpool.
Liverpool will be in need of reinforcements though and Bellingham seems like a pretty sensible target for the former champions.
Liverpool must pull out the stops to sign Bellingham in the summer
It’s been a while since Liverpool bolstered their midfield ranks. With that in mind, perhaps the summer will represent the perfect time to make a statement signing.
Bellingham has been brilliant in the Bundesliga since arriving in Germany. He’s mature way beyond his years and looks like an upgrade on any player in the Liverpool midfield.
Furthermore, at 18, Bellingham could be a mainstay at Liverpool for the next decade. He will only get better and his passing radar makes him ideal for a Jurgen Klopp system.
The England man would surely relish the chance to play at the top level in England and Liverpool have to make Bellingham happen this summer.
