Liverpool told to stop 'sniffing' for £71m Chelsea star in Jude Bellingham transfer instruction

Darren Bent has urged Liverpool to prioritise a move for Jude Bellingham over Mason Mount. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Borussia Dortmund for some time now as he continues to impress for club and country.

Bellingham, who sees his contract at the Signal Iduna Park expire in 2025, has been subject to long-term interest from the Blues, football.london understands. The west Londoners watched the midfielder during his time as an academy player at Birmingham City but, after failing to act on their interest, the German giants swooped in and signed the teenage sensation instead.

As Europe's biggest clubs look to further their midfield options, the Dortmund star has become one of the most coveted young players. But, with a number of top clubs set to lock horns over Bellingham's signature in the summer, Liverpool have been credited with interest in Mount, who has emerged as a cheaper option.
