Liverpool eye Jude Bellingham and Yves Bissouma ahead of the 2022/23 season

According to Fichajes (h/t Liverpool Echo), Liverpool are keen on adding Jude Bellingham and Yves Bissouma to their squad ahead of next season.

The Reds have an excellent midfield that is however ageing. Adding some young blood into the mix will be a welcome boost for the future of the side that will eventually need a rebuild. In Bissouma and Bellingham, Liverpool could land two excellent players who can make a difference.

The Merseysiders remain keen on Bellingham despite Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl’s ‘no sign’ verdict on a possible departure for the young prospect.

Liverpool has long been linked with the English teenager who continues to enhance his reputation in the Bundesliga. He has already shown the ability to perform at the top level and could slot in well at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp is sold on the player’s performances and remains keen to build a team around him for the future. Not often does one see a player get named “the pearl of the Jurgen Klopp project.” 

The 18-year-old is seen as one of Dortmund’s most valuable assets. Given his potential, it remains to be seen what it will take for Liverpool to land him.

At 25, the Seagulls ace is ready to take his game to the next level. Klopp could very well turn him into a world-class player that he has threatened to develop into of late.
