England manager Gareth Southgate has suggested that Liverpool-linked Jude Bellingham could benefit from joining a Premier League club.
Former Premier League midfielder Craig Hignett claimed last year that Bellingham had been telling people he is Liverpool bound next summer. The Borussia Dortmund star has long been the subject of speculation surrounding his future at the Bundesliga club.
The 18-year-old midfielder is considered one of the hottest prospects in football, having joined BVB from Birmingham City in the summer of 2020. But despite Hignett’s claims, the ECHO understands that while Liverpool have long been admirers of Bellingham, any talk of a move is premature.
