Birmingham City starlet Jude Bellingham is a target for Liverpool, according to the Daily Star.

The 16-year-old also has three cup appearances to his name, and several clubs are keen on his services.

The Daily Star adds that Tottenham and Manchester United are keen on his services. However, United were unsuccessful in signing the 16-year-old in the January transfer window.

Bellingham won’t be sold on the cheap

Birmingham won’t give Bellingham away without a fight. The Championship side wanted at least £25million

for their starlet during the winter window and that ensured he remained at St Andrews (h/t Daily Star).

There is further competition for the Englishman with Real Madrid and Barcelona also keen on the 16-year-old (h/t Daily Star).

Liverpool signed a couple of youngsters in the previous summer window and landing Bellingham fits perfectly into our plans.

Many of our youngsters have also featured in the FA Cup and League Cup this season.

Jurgen Klopp is also one of the best managers in the world, and his faith in the youth players could be a factor if we make a move for the 16-year-old.
