Jurgen Klopp asked by fan if Jude Bellingham is going to join Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp gave a priceless reaction when he encountered a fan asking whether his club would sign Jude Bellingham.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is Liverpool's primary summer transfer target heading into the summer window. After a number of standout performances in the Bundesliga, Champions League and on international duty with England, the 19-year-old has become one of the most in-demand players in Europe.

Bellingham is also being linked with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. Reds supporters are clamouring for the signature of the midfielder, who has been previously likened to iconic captain, Steven Gerrard.

Prior to their enthralling 2-2 draw with Arsenal, the Liverpool squad embarked on a walk around the docks pre-match. With eager fans awaiting a glimpse of their heroes, one fan tried his hand at earning an exclusive insight from the Liverpool boss.

In a TikTok clip, which originated from an account named osjarmonka, a Reds fan, wearing a 'Bellingham 8' Liverpool shirt, can be heard asking: "Is Bellingham coming?"

There is no audible response from Klopp, but the video continues to show the 55-year-old in good spirits after walking past.

Also in the video, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson are spotted looking at the fan before turning to each other with the Liverpool skipper letting off a wry smile.

"You heard about Jude, that's a different subject," Klopp said previously when asked about Bellingham. "In general, it always makes things more difficult in general, we are still Liverpool, a big club, it's not that we can't do nothing, we will have transfer business.

"We have to, it's 100% clear in the summer we have to make changes, it's clear everyone knows that it will happen.

"In the end, how much? It's not in my hands exactly what we can but we are in constant talks and everybody knows exactly what we need."
