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.
