Tony Bellew knew about Liverpool's Jude Bellingham interest 'for three years'

Tony Bellew has claimed he knew of Liverpool's interest in Jude Bellingham 'three years ago' through association with Birmingham City’s Technical Director, Craig Gardner.

The Reds' long-standing interest in Bellingham has become common knowledge in recent months, with the 19-year-old's world-class performances for England at the World Cup attracting almost every major club on the continent and setting him on course to be the most in-demand player in the world next summer.

Despite the emergence of a new interested party with each day - the latest being Paris Saint-Germain - Jurgen Klopp's side are considered front-runners in the latest round of reports. Reds duo Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been doing their bit as they've spent a lot of time with Bellingham while out in Qatar.
