It’s fair to say Jude Bellingham has been attracting some interest of late.
The 18-year-old former Birmingham City starlet has been doing extremely well at Borussia Dortmund, not just in the Bundesliga but also in the Champions League. A Salah-esque goal has been doing the YouTube rounds. And he has impressed during his England appearances
Unsurprisingly, he has been linked with a move to Liverpool, along with other big clubs in England and Europe for some time.
Part of England’s Euro 2020 squad in the summer, Bellingham has made rapid progress as a player in the last 18 months. The midfielder has played in various positions around the central areas of the pitch, and also has plied his trade as a wide midfielder for Dortmund, or as a pseudo wing-back in a 3-4-3 formation. He is good on the ball, can play the box-to-box role, has an eye for goal and covers a lot of ground during a game.
Bellingham has scored 12 goals and assisted 14 in 109 appearances in his career so far (Dortmund and Birmingham City days added).
