Jack Wilshere has expressed his admiration of reported Liverpool target Jude Bellingham on England’s YouTube channel.
The former Arsenal star has been impressed by how Bellingham has done for England at Euro 2020.
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has made three substitute appearances in the European Championship, playing a total of 55 minutes.
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.
Wilshere said about Bellingham on England’s YouTube channel: “He is some player as well, some player.”
The midfielder added about the teenager playing against older players: “He isn’t bothered, is it? It doesn’t faze him.”
Liverpool transfer this summer?
Bellingham joined Dortmund from Birmingham City only last summer.
Dortmund will know that they can make a lot from selling the teenager after two or three more years.
Just look at what happened with Jadon Sancho.
Yes, Bellingham has done well in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League, but he is just 18 and will only get better.
Dortmund are likely to keep the England international beyond this summer and cash in on him after a few years.
However, Liverpool should still make a bid and see where it leads to.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could do with signing a box-to-box midfielder to replace Georginio Wijnaldum.
Wilshere was a brilliant player at his peak, and he knows a quality footballer when he sees one.
