Chelsea wary of Jude Bellingham transfer blow as Liverpool deploy 'agent Trent' at World Cup

Chelsea will hope that they can convince Jude Bellingham to complete a transfer to Stamford Bridge next summer. The Blues are expected to match any rival bid for the 19-year-old who continues to impress at the World Cup in Qatar for England.

Todd Boehly has implemented a clear transfer strategy of signing talented youngsters that will make an impact on the senior squad as he aims to protect Chelsea's long-term future and success. Midfield is a key area that needs strengthening with both N'Golo Kante and Jorginho facing uncertain futures at Stamford Bridge as they enter the final six months of their respective contracts.

Bellingham is considered to be one of the most talented youngsters in Europe with Borussia Dortmund now resigned to losing their star player.
