I’ve got it on good authority Jude is going to join Liverpool – says the former Premier League star

Jude Bellingham is constantly being linked with Liverpool. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is in scintillating form since his arrival in the summer of 2020.

The English teenage sensation is on Liverpool’s radar and is currently one of the hottest talents in football.

Former Premier League star Hignett says he is aware of Bellingham saying that he is joining Liverpool.

Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside Hignett says,

“I think I’ve heard it on good authority and I can’t say where I’ve heard it from, but apparently he has been saying that he is Liverpool bound“

Is Jude Bellingham’s move to Liverpool a possibility in 2022 ?

After Wijnaldum’s departure, Liverpool are looking to get a midfielder into the squad. And Jude Bellingham is high up on the transfer list of Liverpool.

The Merseyside club has identified Jude as a player who could strengthen Jurgen Klopp’s option in the middle of the park.

The Borussia Dortmund starlet has caught the eyes of many for his impressive display for the German outfit. In the current 2021-22 season Jude already has three goals and five assists in 16 games so far.

Liverpool have many issues in the middle of the park, as several midfielders have injury concerns, and also Veteran James Milner coming to the end days of his playing career.

The 18-year-old would be an extraordinary addition to the Reds squad but would certainly cost mega money.

While former Premier League star Hignett certainly believes Jude is in line to join Liverpool.

But we need to wait and see how concrete is Hignette’s claim. However, Liverpool certainly needs to freshen up the midfield department and Bellingham would certainly fit into it.

Plays a bit like – Steven Gerrard

The English teenage’s idol is Steven Gerrard. An athletic, box-to-box midfielder is a joy to watch.

Jude covers the ground completely, whether it is defensive duties or in supporting the attack for the team. And he has also proven that he’s capable of coping up with physical intensity at the highest level.

“He’s a fantastic player. He reminds me of a young Steven Gerrard,” Jermain Pennant told talkSPORT

Former Liverpool player Jermain Pennant compared Jude Bellingham to Steven Gerrard. Altogether, it will be very interesting to see where the wonderkid lands his feet in 2022.
