Jude Bellingham

... must start him at World Cup. Bellingham may only be 19 years of age but the midfielder continues to astonish with composure, nous and quality.

It certainly seems hard to believe Bellingham will not be given the chance to impress in the forthcoming Nations League matches against Italy and Germany alongside Rice. There was frustration in some quarters that Bellingham did not play more at Euro 2020, when Southgate favoured a more conservative midfield pairing of Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips. “He is able to defensively follow Gundo [Ilkay Gundogan] or Kevin [De Bruyne] in the pockets and in transition he is fast. He is, to all intents and purposes, the classic all-rounder but with a very modern bent. He had done something similar in the first half when feeding Raphael Guerreiro and he is not afraid to do the dirty work either, making a timely block to deny Jack Grealish. In the first case, he released Salih Ozcan down the inside left channel with a precise, superbly weighted pass that immediately threw City on to the backfoot.

Pep Guardiola has delivered his verdict on Jude Bellingham after the Englishman put in a good performance against Manchester City on Wednesday night.

Dortmund could be more tempted, or open, to selling the teenager with that in mind. Plus, he looks a shoo-in for Gareth Southgate's Three Lions World Cup squad and quality performances on the biggest stage may inflate his value that little bit more. Jurgen Klopp's Reds are in a similar boat though, especially considering how the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho have been impacted by injuries in recent months. "Defensively he’s able to follow Gundogan or Kevin [De Bruyne] in the pockets and win the duels. With the futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho at Stamford Bridge uncertain, the Blues are in need of long-term midfield replacements. "So he’s an exceptional player, I think everyone knows it.

Liverpool did not need any convincing on Jude Bellingham, but Pep Guardiola has explained why the prospective move would be exactly what Anfield needs.

But Guardiola has condensed into a couple of sentences exactly why Jude Bellingham would be worth the wait. And he can do all that while elevating the Liverpool midfield above the purely functional unit it has been in the past — he tracks like Gini Wijnaldum and attacks like Elliott. [Guardiola](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/jurgen-klopp-guardiola-liverpool-reinvention-24993138), Liverpool or anyone else, he went ahead and did it anyway. At Dortmund, he has primarily played as a left-sided midfielder, and he could yet end up there if he moves to Liverpool. Again, this will not be news to Liverpool. When that process is happening properly, it gives the 23-year-old more scope to push forward, allowing him to use his creative prowess to properly influence the game as a playmaker. The full-back must surely also shoulder some of the responsibility, but the inexperienced converted winger in front of him has not offered all that much by way of protection. On the right of midfield, in particular, a debate is raging — more evidence of the typical lack of consensus among the fan base. And Liverpool certainly did not need the assessment of Pep Guardiola to convince them. “Defensively he’s able to follow Gündoğan or Kevin [De Bruyne] in the pockets and win the duels. It is unclear whether Bellingham would come in to play this Elliott role. He is not going through an audition — all of the top clubs already want him.

Rio Ferdinand believes that Jude Bellingham has "already outgrown" Borussia Dortmund, but the ambitious Bundesliga side are aiming to keep the midfielder.

Then we come back to the beginning of the interview, we try to keep our best players. And Bellingham is the superstar they want to keep and build a team around. And we would like to keep our best players longer than the last few years – it’s impossible [to keep them sometimes].

[ Mike McGrath](https://twitter.com/mcgrathmike) of [the Telegraph,](https://twitter.com/TeleFootball) Liverpool are leading the race to sign Jude Bellingham next summer, despite heavy interest from Manchester City and Manchester United. Manchester City haven't given up, and certainly still have a heavy interest in the player, but they will have to fight off some stern competition to be the club that signs him next summer. [Florian Plettenburg](https://twitter.com/Plettigoal) of [ Sky Sports ](https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews)reported that Liverpool and Manchester United were the two most likely clubs to sign Belligham, but Liverpool seem to have moved clear of the rest of the teams in terms of the pursuit.

It can argued that the only salient information in the report is from Bellingham himself, who told reporters before the trip to the Etihad: “To look past [Dortmund] and into the future would be disrespectful.” [Man City](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/man-city) in the [Champions League](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/champions-league), new claims have emerged over a summer move to Liverpool. “Liverpool are expected to lead the chase for Jude Bellingham next summer in a race that could drag in Europe’s biggest clubs for the Borussia Dortmund teenage midfielder,” the report begins.

Liverpool are at the head of the queue for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, according to a report.

He's combative, both sides of the game, aggressive, he's a Swiss-army-knife, he does everything. "In England, all the top clubs, not just Liverpool, are following Bellingham. Thinking I'm a year behind when I should've left because he's got that self belief that you need to take you to them heights," Ferdinand told BT Sport. "I think these are two teams that have very good chances to get him. Very good personality." "He's an upcoming superstar player.

Bellingham and Borussia Dortmund took on Manchester City on Wednesday, giving the English press an excuse to speculate about his future.

To make matters worse for the Premier League clubs, according to the [CIES football observatory](https://football-observatory.com/-values-173080), his estimated transfer value is actually far higher than that. Unless the talented youngster agrees on new terms with Dortmund before next summer rolls around, he will go into the transfer market with two years left to run on his contract. Plus, it looks as though he's all but guaranteed to make Gareth Southgate's Three Lions World Cup squad and quality performances on the biggest stage may inflate his value that little bit more. The econometric system estimates that Bellingham is worth between €150million-€200million (£130.4million-£174million). Jurgen Klopp's side are in a similar position though, especially considering how the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho have been impacted by injuries in recent months.

Lampard was used in a diamond midfield both behind the strikers and as a natural 8. He was part of the Euro 2020 squad last summer but didn't start a match and played less than one hour in total across three games. He defends well as a midfield player but then he has the potential to be offensive. It is believed that the Blues did make an attempt, albeit it speculative, to get him one season early, but that was to no avail. Next summer there won't be the same freedom and they could end up in a mammoth bidding war. City have a relationship with Dortmund that Chelsea can't currently rival, with Roman Abramovich and Marina Granovskaia not having been involved in transfer discussions with the German club in recent years. The pair played each other in the 2021 tournament and one year later Erling Haaland is tearing up the Premier League in a sky blue shirt. He is a box-to-box player, that old-school profile. He’s only improved and his price has certainly only gone up." But this kid is also capable of scoring from outside the box. "Lampard shoots ten times, he scores nine goals, he always hits the target. It was like that two or three years ago.

Man United continue to be heavily linked with the prospect of signing Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.

Although Bellingham's focus will soon switch to matters on the international stage, his future at club level remains a hot topic. Since joining Dortmund just over two years ago, the former Birmingham man has racked up 99 appearances, scoring 13 goals and grabbing 18 assists. Despite falling short in their efforts, they have remained linked with his signature ever since - and it is easy to understand why. Prior to his move to Germany, he visited United's Carrington training ground in March of that same year, with The England international headed Dortmund into the lead, but saw his heroics undone late on, courtesy of goals from John Stones and Erling Haaland, who secured a 2-1 win for the hosts. Dortmund, despite being the underdogs, threatened to produce a professional away performance that so nearly earned them at least a point.
