Jadon Sancho has raved about reported Liverpool target Jude Bellingham on England’s official YouTube channel.

Sancho, who is joining Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund, has been left stunned by how mature Bellingham is despite being a teenager.

The Dortmund midfielder and 21-year-old winger Sancho are playing for England at the ongoing Euro 2020 finals.

What Jadon Sancho says

Sancho said about Bellingham on England’s official YouTube channel: “The sky’s the limit for the guy. He is a great footballer, he is mature for his age, which is very surprising, because I think when I was 18, I was not that mature at all.”

Liverpool interest

Liverpool have been linked with Bellingham, who left Birmingham City for Dortmund last summer.

Eurosport reported in April that that Liverpool are among the clubs who are interested in signing the 18-year-old England international in the summer transfer window.

Should Liverpool make a move?

Dortmund signed Bellingham only last summer, and it is unlikely that they will sell him now.

Unless, of course, the German club get a massive offer.

Dortmund will know that Bellingham’s value will only rise in the coming years.

The Bundesliga outfit could sell the youngster for a lot of money in, say, two or three years’ time.

However, Liverpool should still make a bid this summer and test the water.

There is no harm in doing that.

Georginio Wijnaldum has left Liverpool for Paris Saint-Germain, and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp needs to sign a replacement midfielder.
