Redknapp claims Liverpool-linked talent is an ‘incredible specimen’, he’s a ‘superstar in the making’

ꦑJamie Redknapp has backed Jude Bellingham to be a ‘superstar’ in his column for the , amid reports Liverpool want to sign the Borussia Dortmund midfielder.

ꦺBellingham when Gareth Southgate introduced the 17-year-old in place of Harry Kane against Croatia on Sunday. He became the youngest player to ever represent England at a major tournament and the youngest to play at a European Championship.

ꦏBellingham turns 18 on June 29, but has five senior to his name after his debut in November. He also made in all competitions for Dortmund last season following a move from boyhood side Birmingham.

Dortmund believe Bellingham’s value will eclipse £100m, per who note Liverpool༺ are keeping a close eye on the teenager. Chelsea are keen on the midfielder, as well, while Manchester United are desperately disappointed they missed out last year.

♍Redknapp feels any side who has Bellingham has a truly brilliant rising star in their ranks. One that Dortmund want to reward with a new £85,000-per-week contract, according to the .

🤡“Jude Bellingham, for a 17-year-old to be given the final 10 minutes when England are on the verge of victory shows how much he is rated,” Redknapp . “Southgate thinks so much of this teenager that he took off Harry Kane and asked Bellingham to see out the win.

🔴“He’s an incredible specimen who covers so much ground and is comfortable on the ball. We’ll see more of him as the tournament goes on, I’m sure, and we’ll see a lot more of him in the future because he’s a superstar in the making.”

TBR’s view: Liverpool must move for Bellingham

🅠Liverpool cannot afford to sit on their hands for too long as Jurgen Klopp would risk missing out on Bellingham. It won’t be long before a Premier League club heads to Germany trying to prise the midfielder from Borussia Dortmund.

ཧBellingham played an instrumental role as Dortmund reached the Champions League quarter-finals and won the DFB Pokal last term. He was denied a goal at Manchester City in the quarter-final first leg, too, that could have been the difference.

The Stourbridge-born star will now likely play a key role in Southgate’s plans during Euro 2020🃏. The England boss is clearly confident he has both the ability and mindset for the challenge. Traits that Klopp would no doubt adore at Liverpool and have earned Redknapp’s admiration.
