- Manager praises maturity and potential of England midfielder
- Admits Champions League qualification is club’s ‘main target’
Jürgen Klopp has paid a lavish tribute to Jude Bellingham and insisted failure to qualify for the Champions League this season would not prevent Liverpool attracting their top transfer targets.
Liverpool’s interest in Bellingham was well established before the England midfielder enhanced his reputation at the World Cup, although the prospect of Borussia Dortmund selling the 19-year-old in January appears remote. Despite also being linked with a move for Enzo Fernández next month, Liverpool are not in the market for Argentina’s World Cup-winning midfielder.
