Liverpool to battle Chelsea for £100m Jude Bellingham?

Liverpool could reportedly rival Chelsea for the signature of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.

The 17-year-old was linked with a number of Premier League clubs before joining Dortmund from Birmingham City during last summer's transfer window.

The England international has been in impressive form for BVB this term, scoring three times and providing four assists in 39 appearances in all competitions.

A recent report claimed that Chelsea are interested in signing the teenager, who is believed to be valued by his German club in the region of £100m.

However, according to Eurosport, Liverpool are also keeping a close eye on developments and could battle their Premier League rivals for the youngster's signature in one of the upcoming transfer windows.

Bellingham was heavily linked with Manchester United last summer, having excelled in the Championship for Birmingham, but Dortmund ultimately signed him on a three-year contract.

The midfielder was on the scoresheet against Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday night but could not prevent his team from exiting the competition at the quarter-final stage.
