Gary Lineker has taken to Twitter to make a prediction about Jude Bellingham, who Liverpool hope to bring to the Premier League.
What’s the story?
Well, it has been said that Jürgen Klopp is keen to bring the 18-year-old to Liverpool at some point.
However, it seems unlikely to happen this summer, after Borussia Dortmund sold Erling Haaland to Manchester City.
Nevertheless, it is a move we believe will materialise at some point, and if it does, the Reds could be getting a “truly great footballer” according to Lineker.
The BBC Match of the Day host decided to praise Bellingham, after the teenager spoke to Darren Lewis of the Mirror about racism in football.
You can see Lineker’s tweet in full below.
Clearly, there is a lot of admiration for Bellingham from the 61-year-old, and in truth, it really is hard not to admire the England international.
He may be just 18 years of age, although he speaks as if he’s been playing football for decades – there is a very wise head on those young shoulders.
Aside from his mentality, Bellingham – who is valued at £84m – is also a terrific footballer.
In 44 appearances for Borussia Dortmund this season, the Liverpool target scored six goals, while also providing 14 assists.
Jude Bellingham could be snatched away from Liverpool
After suffering heartbreak in Paris, Liverpool could be dealt another blow by Real Madrid.
It has been said that the Spanish giants are targeting Bellingham as a long-term replacement for Luka Modric, who is coming to the end of his career at the age of 36.
Real Madrid have already snapped up Eduardo Camavinga, and are close to signing another Liverpool target in Aurelien Tchouameni.
Throw Bellingham into the mix, and Real Madrid would have a phenomenal midfield trio to replace the iconic trident of Toni Kroos, Modric and Casemiro.
Whoever he ends up joining, Bellingham looks set to have a special career.
