Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has praised reported Liverpool transfer target Jude Bellingham on Twitter.

Gundogan has said that Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham, linked with a move to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, is a high quality footballer.

The City star made the comments while analysing the current Borussia Dortmund team and their chances of beating Bayern Munich to the Bundesliga title this season.

You can read his tweet in full below.

The Mirror reported in December 2021 that Liverpool want to sign Bellingham from Dortmund in the summer of 2022.

The report claimed that the Reds were leading the race for the 18-year-old England international midfielder.

Jude Bellingham would make Liverpool better

In our view, Bellingham would make Liverpool a better and stronger team in the middle of the park.

The 18-year-old is a very dynamic footballer who is a very ‘complete’ midfielder.

Bellingham can drive the team forward and can also protect the back-line.

The former Birmingham City star can be an imposing figure in the middle of the season, and he is only 18.

Bellingham has scored three goals and provided five assists in 16 Bundesliga appearances, and has scored one goal and given three assists in six Champions League games for Dortmund so far this season.
