Liverpool tipped as clear favourites to secure £100m star signing.

Liverpool have been backed as favourite to land Dortmund youngster Jude Bellingham.

Despite having quality and depth in the central midfield with stars like Thiago, Milner, Fabinho, Keita, Ox, Jones, Elliott, Morton, and skipper Henderson.

None of the aforementioned have been able to score and create goals regularly for the Red. So Klopp is looking for a versatile talent and the Jude Bellingham looks most likely the answer.

Earlier this month, Mirror Sport revealed that the Merseysiders are favorites to hire the services of England international, and Klopp is not put off by the huge fee required to secure his signing from Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.

Former goalkeeper Paddy Kenny has supported the Reds to break the bank to sign the teenage sensation. Being only 18 years old, he could serve the club on a long term.

Speaking to Football Insider, Kenny said “Oh, wow, what a statement that would be (for Liverpool). He’s got loads of games under his belt for Dortmund and a few for Birmingham.

“Then you look and he’s got 10 or 12 England caps, what a signing that would be by the way. It’s a long-term thing. He’s only 18. He is unbelievable now so imagine how much he could improve under Jurgen Klopp.

“Even if Liverpool were to pay £100million for him, he could easily stay for 10 years. Then you are paying £10million per season for a player who is going to be one of the best in the world. he added.

“Obviously there are wages and everything else but that’s a no-brainer for me. It would be really exciting if Liverpool could get that one over the line.”

The England international has made 70 appearances for Dortmund and can fit anywhere in the middle of the park. He has 3 goals and 9 assists for the black and yellow this season so far.
