Diogo Jota has joked that he will tell Liverpool to sign Jude Bellingham in the summer.
The Reds have been linked with the Borussia Dortmund midfielder over the past few months, as his standing in European football only continues to grow.
Liverpool are continuing to monitor Bellingham but are aware it would take a big-money offer to persuade Dortmund to consider selling the player.
Bellingham moved to the Bundesliga club in the summer of 2020 for £25m, and his value would have significantly increased since then.

However, that hasn’t stopped Jota from having fun and suggesting that he wants Liverpool to sign the midfielder.
Jota has become famous for his ability on the popular video game FIFA, and often does live streams on Twitch where he plays the game.
His latest stream took place on Sunday evening, mere hours after he scored in Liverpool’s win over Cardiff City in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
During the stream, Jota got onto the topic of Bellingham - and he joked that he would tell Liverpool to sign the 18-year-old, so he could use him in his FIFA team.
“On Tuesday I’m going to say, ‘we need to sign Bellingham’, so I can use his Future Stars card,” followed by a chuckle.
Future Stars is a promotional event in the Ultimate Team section of FIFA, which is handed out to some of the most promising youngsters in the game - including Bellingham.
