James Pearce has highlighted Jude Bellingham’s ‘versatility’ as something that makes him one of Jurgen Klopp’s ideal midfielders.
The Athletic journalist explained that the teenager is a ‘special package’ and explained why it could cost Liverpool around £130m if they sign him from Borussia Dortmund next summer.
The 19-year-old, who came through the ranks at Birmingham City before heading to Germany, is a full-fledged England international and is a midfielder Klopp is believed to admire.

Liverpool supporters clamored for the club to sign a new midfielder earlier this summer, but Dortmund’s No. 22 made it clear he would stay with the Bundesliga side for the 2022/23 campaign.
That decision was understandable considering the teenager is one of the first names on Edin Terzic’s team sheet and gaining vital experience in one of Europe’s biggest leagues, not to mention the Champions League.

Bellingham scored against Manchester City in Europe’s premier competition recently, which was yet another demonstration of his seemingly endless potential.
The idea of seeing the Englishman in the famous red shirt next season is exciting, but we will have to wait and see what happens.
