Jude Bellingham sent Liverpool message as Man City and Chelsea linked

Liverpool have been told why Jude Bellingham “suits” them amid continued transfer links.

The Reds have been frequently credited with an interest in the Borussia Dortmund midfielder, who has been tipped for a bright future.

Both Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp are admirers of Bellingham, but a move for the 18-year-old would not be cheap.

Liverpool continue to monitor Bellingham but are aware it would take a big-money offer to persuade Dortmund to consider selling the player.

Former Reds goalkeeper David James has explained why he’s been impressed with Bellingham, and how the teenager would be a good addition to Liverpool’s squad.

James went on to name the two other clubs, besides Liverpool, who could be express an interest in Bellingham.

“I’ve only met Jude once and it was just before the Euros. I was taken aback by how mature he is as a person,” James told GGRecon .

“He went to Borussia Dortmund during a pandemic and I know someone currently at the club and they so highly of him.

“He fits the profile of a person that would suit Liverpool.

“When you look at what Liverpool have got and what they’ve got coming through and how things are set up then the only question that you’d have to ask if you’re Jude is how long is Jürgen Klopp going to be there.

“I imagine that would have an influence when it comes to him choosing his next club and the same can be said for Pep Guardiola and Thomas Tuchel at Manchester City and Chelsea respectively as those two sides are reportedly interested too.

“Everything at Liverpool is solid and Manchester City likewise but that’s heavily dependent on Pep Guardiola being there.

“With Chelsea, in two years time, you can imagine that they’ll have a different manager.”
