Any Liverpool fans who don’t believe in omens might want to start doing so - it could be what brings Jude Bellingham to Anfield.
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has been linked with a move to Merseyside throughout the summer, and the closure of the window seems to have only intensified talk of a move at some point over the next 12 months. Liverpool’s midfield problems during the early part of the season have intensified calls for midfield reinforcements, with next summer expected to be a window of transition in that position.
Another outstanding performance in last night’s 3-3 draw against Germany at Wembley put Bellingham in the spotlight again, compelling Gareth Southgate to praise the teenager’s ‘top-level mentality’ after the result - another string to his bow, as far as Jurgen Klopp is concerned. But the 19-year-old’s contribution against Manchester City less than two weeks ago could be the latest in an intriguing trend of future Reds signings.
