Chelsea must repeat Liverpool's Jude Bellingham transfer trick in Declan Rice approach

Attracting Jude Bellingham to Stamford Bridge will be a tough task for Chelsea, especially as they languish in mid-table in the Premier League. The 19-year-old is one of the biggest transfer targets for the Blues heading into 2023 and made waves at the World Cup with his outstanding performances, but competition to sign him at club level is high.

On top of Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are all keen on securing his services, whilst Arsenal are in the mix as well. He looks set to be at the middle of a major bidding war, and although Todd Boehly is likely to match any figure on the table, that won't be the be all and end all.

Bellingham is set to hold off making a decision until the end of the season and may well end up remaining at Borussia Dortmund too, but his choice will be based on a number of factors, including the project he's committing to, facilities and the general feeling.
