Former Liverpool player Glen Johnson believes Liverpool should pay the big money required to bring Jude Bellingham to Anfield
Jurgen Klopp is known to be very keen on the 19-year-old midfielder but will find it difficult to prize him away from a Borussia Dortmund side who have already lost Erling Haaland to Manchester City this summer.
However, former England right-back Johnson, who is also a fan of Kylian Mbappe, thinks the Reds should go for it before someone else does.
Speaking to Genting Casino, he said: "I don’t know how long Bellingham and Mbappe have left on their deals but if they carried on learning their trade somewhere else and then you get them at a cheaper rate in 12 months time then that would be sensible. Either way, they’re going to cost a fortune so you might as well pay it now. Liverpool should therefore try to sign them before others do."
