Liverpool have reached a ‘verbal agreement’ with Jude Bellingham and hope to sign the teenager in a future window, according to a new report.
The Reds will continue to scour the market in the final week, however, as Jurgen Klopp jokingly admitted that he ‘was wrong’ with earlier claims he did not need reinforcements. Liverpool have made a slow start to the new season, drawing against Crystal Palace and Fulham before defeat at Manchester United.
Many of the problems - although not all - can be attributed to an already growing list of unavailable first-team options. Several of those injured have been concentrated in midfield, with Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all sidelined for Saturday’s clash with Bournemouth.
