Jamie Redknapp has encouraged Liverpool to go and get Jude Bellingham, claiming that it would be a ‘brilliant signing’.
Jurgen Klopp is in dire need of a midfielder this summer, amid injuries to Thiago Alcantara, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones.
Liverpool have already dropped four points from only two Premier League outings this season and you feel that more will be go to waste unless Klopp can solidify his midfield.
And Redknapp, a former Red, believes that the 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund sensation is absolutely ideal for the Anfield outfit.
He told talkSPORT: “They said they are not going to go into the market, but I think they should and try and find a way to sign Jude Bellingham.
“That would be a brilliant signing for them. He’d be the one.”
Are Liverpool signing Jude Bellingham?
In a word, yes.
According to The Daily Mail, the Merseysiders expect to be signing the £100 million-rated starlet.
Problem is, the report claims that Liverpool aren’t anticipating a deal until next summer, which gives Klopp the guts of a year to solve his injury crisis in midfield.
That’s far too long a time period for the German manager to make do with what he has and even though Bellingham – a lifelong supporter of the club – could be coming next summer, another body between now and then is absolutely essential.
