Liverpool have been strongly linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham – and Diogo Jota seemingly wants him to join.
The Reds chose not to bring in a new midfielder to replace Georginio Wijnaldum last summer but could move for one this summer.
One of the key names in the mix is Bellingham, who has been shining for Dortmund in the Bundesliga and Champions League this season.
The Mirror reported back in December that Liverpool are leading the race to sign Bellingham.
That report even added that Liverpool are already started planning for Bellingham’s arrival this summer in a deal worth £90million.
That’s a huge outlay for Liverpool to be considering, but Bellingham looks to be very much worth it.
18-year-old Bellingham has racked up four goals and nine assists for Dortmund this season and hasn’t even scratched the surface of his potential.
Bellingham absolutely has it all as a box-to-box midfield player and the sky appears to be the limit for him.
Liverpool ace Diogo Jota has now joked that the Reds need to wrap up a deal for Bellingham – so he can use him in his FIFA team!
Bellingham’s new Future Stars card dropped on Friday, with his 93 overall rating making him one of the best midfielders in the game.
Jota, who streams himself playing FIFA on Twitch, only uses Liverpool players in his Ultimate Team.
From the 91 Headliners Virgil van Dijk card to Jota’s 99 overall card – as given out to him by EA Sports – Jota has a full Liverpool side.
Jota went on Twitch over the weekend to suggest that Liverpool need Bellingham, and you have to imagine that he would love that to happen and not just for FIFA reasons.
