Liverpool keeping tabs on Borussia Dortmund sensation

Liverpool are continuing to monitor the performances of Borussia Dortmund's teenage sensation Jude Bellingham.

The Reds have not spent significantly in recent transfer windows, but there could be a spending spree next summer.

A new central midfielder will be a priority, and it is claimed that Bellingham is one of the top names on their transfer wishlist.

Dortmund have no plans of selling their prized asset, but a significant bid of over £80m is expected to test their resolve.

The Merseyside giants are currently keeping tabs on his progress with a view to a potential club-record bid for his services.

Manchester United have also been long-term admirers of Bellingham. They tried to sign him from Birmingham City last year.

The 18-year-old was given a tour of the club's Carrington training complex, but he still chose to join Dortmund over them.

The assurance of playing time was cited as a prime reason by the midfielder. It is unclear whether United will return for him.
