Chelsea may have to shatter the Premier League transfer record in order to rival Liverpool in an immense transfer battle for Jude Bellingham next summer.
The 19-year-old is one of the hottest prospects and is expected to be the centre of one of the biggest bidding wars in recent memory with a host of top clubs all preparing to set aside a huge portion of their budget to make an offer for the England midfielder.
Bellingham, who will be a key part of Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad with the Three Lions, joined Borussia Dortmund from Birmingham City in 2020 for £22m as a 17-year-old and has already become one of the most in-demand players in world football with serious interest from Manchester United, Real Madrid and Manchester City as well as Liverpool and Chelsea.
