Roy Keane has talked about the talents Jude Bellingham amid links with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side on ITV Sport.

Bellingham to Liverpool?

Bellingham started for England last night and before the game Keane waxed lyrical about the Liverpool target’s talents.

It has been claimed that Bellingham has been telling his friends that he’s going to move to Anfield by BBC pundit Craig Hignett on Radio Merseyside.

BILD also have reported that Liverpool’s interest in the midfielder is very strong.

Keane said: “We love everything about him. What he’s doing on the pitch. The way he speaks off of it. He’s playing week in, week out for his club. The potential for this kid, it is scary.

“I saw him recently playing for Dortmund in a Champions League game and he was producing passes where I was like I didn’t think he had that in his locker just yet.

“The potential for this kid. He’s a good side, he looks like a boxer. Gareth must be rubbing his hands.”

If Liverpool were to sign Bellingham then he could be the man to dominate Jurgen Klopp’s midfield for the next decade.

Crazily, for a player of his experience, he is still only 18-years-old.

Bellingham does indeed seem to have the world at his feet, and his arrival at Anfield would cause great excitement.

The youngster was actually very unlucky not to grab his first England call last night.

He lashed a shot into the back of the net but VAR decided that Tammy Abraham had made a foul in the build-up.

If Bellingham is to sign for Liverpool, the Reds will surely have to break their previous transfer record to bring him in.
