Liverpool must make most of international breaks to pull off Jude Bellingham transfer

Liverpool's need for a new central midfielder is no secret.

Jordan Henderson, 32, and Thiago Alcantara, 31, are both at the back end of their glittering careers, while James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain are all out of contract next June. As Jurgen Klopp said in August, "We are looking for it - and if it is the right player, we need him, and if it is not the right player, we don't need him."

The Reds did bring in a new midfielder on deadline day in Arthur Melo, but his loan transfer suggests he's a temporary solution. So who is Liverpool's next great midfielder? Everyone associated with the club would love that answer to be Jude Bellingham.
