Jude Bellingham will be the name on the lips of Liverpool supporters for much of next year, a German football pundit has now warned of how much will be lost if we don’t sign the midfielder.

It might not be too good to hear that the names mentioned are Manchester City players, but let’s hope they’re used for context, not because of the recent links between the England international and Pep Guardiola’s side.
It is no secret that Jurgen Klopp is supposed to be very interested in the midfielder, it seems that we are prepared to break the bank with him next summer, but we are not the only ones who are willing to do so.
