Liverpool hand Chelsea and Man City Jude Bellingham transfer boost with John Henry admission

Chelsea may have been handed a boost in their pursuit of England international Jude Bellingham this summer after an admission from Liverpool owner John Henry. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder continues to be linked with a huge move in the next few months, having impressed for the Bundesliga outfit.

Some reports have claimed that Bellingham could be valued as highly as £150million, a move that would smash the British transfer record set by the Blues in January after signing Enzo Fernandez for £106million from Benfica. The 19-year-old has shown plenty of ability and leadership since joining Dortmund, with Chelsea set to get another glimpse of that when they face the German outfit in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Manager Edin Terzic was questioned about the youngster's future ahead of the tie, responding: "With all respect for Jude and his performance, we are answering these kinds of questions since he arrived [in 2020]. Before he chose to join us, he had opportunities to join the Premier League. There was loads of interest from top-flight clubs.
