Steven Gerrard remained coy when asked if Jude Bellingham can be labeled as one of the 'best England midfielders' in recent years, but continued his praise of the Chelsea target. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Borussia Dortmund for a while 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 outfit swooped in and signed the teenage sensation instead.
However, Chelsea are not alone in their pursuit of Bellingham. Gerrard has not been shy in his admiration for the youngster and he's often been heard trying to usher him towards a move to Anfield.
