Jude Bellingham: Pundit ‘wowed’ by Liverpool completing signing as double deal on the cards
Gabby Agbonlahor has claimed Liverpool will not be able to lure Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund this summer.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Aston Villa and England forward suggested a deal could happen in the future but Liverpool will face competition from a number of “top European clubs”.
A German source told Football Insider on Sunday (6 February) that Borussia Dortmund are “worried about Liverpool” and their interest in Bellingham.
As a result, they are trying to secure the teenage sensation to a new contract despite his current deal having over three years left to run.
Dortmund also want Jude’s younger brother Jobe to follow him from Birmingham City in what would be a double deal.
The 16-year-old made his Blues debut last month and now has two senior appearances to his name.
“I don’t think Jude Bellingham will leave yet,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley.
“He’s not been in the Bundesliga that long yet. There is no rush for him to come to the Premier League.
“He’s enjoying his football out there, he’s playing every week and getting in England squads. He’ll want to just concentrate on playing his football.
“The Liverpool transfer may happen in the future. There will be other clubs after him, there will be top European clubs looking at him.
“Wow, it’d be amazing if it did, but I don’t see him moving this summer, to be honest.”
Jude Bellingham has scored four times and provided 10 assists in 29 games across all competitions.
The 10-cap international now has eight goals and 14 assists in 75 games for Dortmund since his move from Birmingham in the summer of 2020.
