Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham has been given a ringing endorsement amid strong links with a move to Liverpool.
The Reds continue to be linked with the 19-year-old, as has been the case for more than a year. Bellingham has impressed since his £25million move from Birmingham City in 2020.
Liverpool are known to have admirations for Bellingham within the Anfield hierarchy, but it remains to be seen whether a move will materialise. Reports over the months have suggested an asking pierce in excess of £100m will be needed to convince Dortmund to sell.

Bellingham was strongly linked with a move to Liverpool this summer, but that was never likely to happen. Following the sale of Erling Haaland to Manchester City, Dortmund were always going to resist any approaches for Bellingham in this window.
Amid the links with a move to Liverpool, Bellingham has received praise from a Real Madrid player. David Alaba, who has experience playing against Bellingham with Bayern Munich, has listed the reasons why he rates the young midfielder so highly.
“As for Bellingham as a player, I can say that he is one of the greatest midfield talents in the world," Alaba told German news outlet Welt.
"And that at a young age! At just 19, he leads the team, doesn't hide and already decides games with his style of play."
