Liverpool told the 'completely different' quality Jude Bellingham has amid Steven Gerrard claim

Liverpool target Jude Bellingham has been described as the perfect mix of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard by former Manchester United striker Louis Saha.

Bellingham is the subject of interest from the Reds, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, but reports this week have suggested that the England international favours a move to Anfield.

However, Borussia Dortmund are said to be demanding between £85million and £130million for the 19-year-old, who has shone for England at the World Cup.

Saha, a former France international, gave Bellingham a glowing report as he compared the teenager to Liverpool and Chelsea legends Gerrard and Lampard.

“Jude Bellingham can play in multiple positions," Saha told Paddy Power. "He is brilliant, he’s intelligent, has the world at his feet and it’s amazing that he’s only 19.

“We’ve never seen a player like this play for England. He has the aggression like Steven Gerrard, bombing forward, a bit of Frank Lampard with his attacking runs and finding clever passes and scoring goals.

"England have always been quite predictable in tournaments, which is why they’ve never done well in them for many years, but with Jude Bellingham coming in, he provides something completely different where teams now aren’t sure how England are going to play and set up.”
