Jude Bellingham has been sent a blunt transfer message by Ian Wright amid links with Liverpool.
The Reds continue to be heavily linked with a move for the Borussia Dortmund starlet. As well as Liverpool, the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Man United and Real Madrid have also been credited with an interest.
Bellingham was in action for England on Monday afternoon in their first match at the World Cup in Qatar. The 19-year-old starred as the Three Lions beat Iran 6-2, with Bellingham opening the scoring in Doha.

After the match, Arsenal legend Wright told Bellingham “it’s time” for him to move to the Premier League. The teenager left Birmingham City to move to Dortmund in 2020, and a few months later the Midlands club retired the youngster’s No.22 shirt number.
“Birmingham [City] were giving us visions years ago, retiring his shirt,” Wright told ITV Sport, about Bellingham.
“We’re seeing it now at 19, he’s gone to Germany and developed, we’re seeing a fantastic, mature guy who is close.
“Being captain there is a brilliant accolade, as good as the German league is, I feel it’s maybe time to get him in the Premier League.
“If he’s gone there to get to a level, he’s there.”
