Gary Lineker has praised reported Liverpool target Jude Bellingham on Match of the Day: Top 10 podcast on BBC.

The BBC Match of the Day presenter has said that he watches a lot of Bellingham, who linked with a move to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

The former Tottenham Hotspur striker has said that he was always sure about the midfielder.

Lineker has said that the 18-year-old England international midfielder has an edge to his game.

Liverpool interest in Jude Bellingham

The Daily Star reported in September 2021 interest from Liverpool in Bellingham.

The Mirror reported on Tuesday that Liverpool are leading the race to sign Bellingham in the summer of 2022.

Gary Lineker’s verdict

Micah Richards said about Bellingham on Match of the Day: Top 10 podcast on BBC: “Bellingham looks special, though. I wasn’t too sure.”

Lineker responded: “I was absolutely sure. I watch a lot of German football and he is absolutely… He has got an edge, you know.”

Jude Bellingham would make Liverpool better

Bellingham is a very dynamic box-to-box midfielder who has impressed many, including Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

The 18-year-old midfielder scores goals, create chances for his teammates, and imposes himself on games.

In our view, Bellingham, who earns £49,000 per week (Salary Sport), would be a stunning signing for Liverpool in the summer of 2022.

Remember, Liverpool did not bring in a replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum when the Dutch midfielder left for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021.

The Dortmund no. 22 has scored two goals and provided five assists in 13 Bundesliga appearances so far this season.
