Former Liverpool star makes Jude Bellingham prediction and sends Jadon Sancho transfer warning

Former Liverpool midfielder Paul Ince believes Jude Bellingham has the potential to be England's next "world class talent" as competition for the Borussia Dortmund midfielder hots up.

The likes of the Reds, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid are all ready to battle it out for the signature of the 19-year-old as Dortmund value their man at over £100 million.

Ince highlighted how the former Birmingham City youngster should enjoy his football at Dortmund playing regular Champions League football for as long as he can.

Ince said while talking to FairBettingSites : "I think the kid’s a very good player. I watched him when he was at Birmingham and I think it surprised a few when he went to Dortmund at such a young age. But, you know, he was brave enough to go out there. Some people don’t, especially English players who don’t like to go abroad.

"We see it happening more recently than when I went out to Italy. But, for him to go to Dortmund and start every game and play the way he is playing it’s been great for him. Obviously, there’s a lot to talk about him coming back. You gotta be careful because obviously when Sancho came back from Dortmund, it didn’t happen for him straight away.

"I think he should enjoy his football there for as long as possible, and enjoy playing regularly in the Champions League. If he wants to come back, then I’d think there’d be a few suitors after him – City, Chelsea, Liverpool, the lot; he’s got the potential to be a world class player for sure."
