7 stars Liverpool failed to sign under Jurgen Klopp | The Konversation Liverpool's struggles before Jurgen Klopp took over meant that they missed out on a few transfer targets like Willian, Alexis Sanchez, Henrikh Mkhitaryan,

Emile Heskey on why Liverpool should sign Jude Bellingham:

"Jude’s a guaranteed starter after how he played against Iran. His energy, his ability on the ball and his calmness, not to mention his threat going forward. He's a big lad for a 19-year-old.

"His maturity is phenomenal considering his age and it’s fantastic to see him playing the way he is. I can’t see anyone taking him out of the team at this moment in time. I think Liverpool could do with freshening up the midfield with a bit more energy.

"Jude Bellingham is 100% the first choice in my eyes. He can play in every single position in midfield. So someone like that would be ideal because that energy he would bring is exactly what Liverpool have been missing at times this season. That’s what we actually need.

"Don’t get me wrong, Harvey Elliott has done really well and Henderson is a great captain but he’s getting to the latter stage of his career now.

"He’s not got the legs he used to have when he was 22 or 23 so he probably is someone that Klopp might be looking to phase out in the next couple of years.” [safebettingsites]
