Reported Liverpool transfer target Jude Bellingham has been spotted signing Reds fan’s shirts whilst on international duty with England.
The 19-year-old midfielder is quite clearly the player Jurgen Klopp wants the most at Anfield next season. In one fell swoop he could more than half Liverpool’s midfield problems – he’s ‘world-class.’
But it isn’t going to be easy. With Real Madrid and Manchester City circling, Bellingham has some attractive options once he leaves Borussia Dortmund. Liverpool are jostling with teams who aren’t used to being beaten in the transfer market.
Bellingham gives the fans what they want
Thankfully, it looks like Jude has really bought into the idea of playing for Liverpool. We may not have quite the financial muscle of Madrid or City, but we more than make up for it in other areas.
There have been claims that Bellingham thinks so too. And if this snap from the latest England camp is anything to go by, they could be right on the money. Presented with a red shirt by a young fan wearing a Mohamed Salah Liverpool top, Jude looks more than happy to sign.
As Liverpool continue their push to sign Bellingham, this will be a welcome sight for Reds fans.
There have been claims this week that the club could bow out of the race owing to the cost of a potential deal. But that reportedly isn’t the case.
Instead, it still looks to be business as usual as Liverpool try and tie up their biggest ever transfer.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold doing his best to get Bellingham onside, fans look to now be doing the same. We can only imagine what this young man had to say to the England man here, but we bet it went something along the lines of ‘come to Liverpool, Jude!’ Come on Jude, we’re waiting.
