Jude Bellingham's social media post hijacked by desperate Liverpool fans

Liverpool fans have not wasted the opportunity to make their transfer demands clear to midfielder Jude Bellingham.

The 19-year-old featured for Edin Terzic's side as their unbeaten start to the calendar year continued with their 1-0 away win at TSG Hoffenheim. Bayern Munich's comfortable win over title rivals Union Berlin meant that Dortmund's spell at the Bundesliga summit was shortlived.

Bellingham remains a target for Liverpool as he has continued his meteoric rise after impressing in the German top-flight. He added to his plaudits with eye-catching performances in the World Cup plus inspiring Dortmund to Champions League knockout qualification after netting five times during the group stages.

It's becoming a regular occurrence for Liverpool fans to ransack the England international's social media posts so they can gain any advantage they can in the pursuit of his signature. Real Madrid and Manchester City are among the clubs mooted as potential suitors for Birmingham City's youngest-ever player.

On Sunday, the 19-year-old posted a captionless photograph on Twitter after Julian Brandt's first-half effort was enough to claim the three points at the PreZero Arena.

As expected there was heavy influence from the Reds faithful in their attempts to pry him away from Borussia Dortmund.

However, sporting director Sebastian Kehl expressed their intentions to try tie the midfielder down to a new deal as his future remains clouded by speculation.

"I'm trying to renew with him. Why not? Jude is just a winner," said Kehl, speaking to ZDF. "There haven't been any talks yet, we're all very relaxed about it."

"You notice that something is growing together," added Kehl. "For example, Karim Adeyemi needed time and a new mindset to arrive at BVB with the high demands. We see a clear further development. For players and in the team."
