Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Napoli won’t (or, at least, shouldn’t) change the minds of many in the club’s hierarchy about the importance of beefing up the midfield department at the earliest opportunity.
With that in mind, Jan Aage Fjortoft’s Jude Bellingham update on Twitter will have raised the brows of many Reds fans after confirming that ‘a club’ is pushing to make a deal for the Anfield-linked Englishman a reality.
Re: Bellingham
A club is working very hard behind the scenes to make this deal happen.

We certainly have to raise the possibility of Bellingham not swapping Borussia Dortmund’s yellow and black for Liverpool’s famous red given the financial disparity between us and our rivals both domestically and internationally.
Still, that by no means means we should rule out the possibility entirely.
The draft on offer, regardless of our mixed start to the 2022/23 season, remains just as compelling and there is a clear gap in midfield that would be perfectly filled by one of Europe’s most exciting talents in that department.
