“I don’t think there really is one. He can achieve anything he wants. He has everything it takes to do it.

“He’s one of those players that you love to watch, that you love to watch. The sky is the limit for him – he’s an incredible player and an incredible person.”

Bellingham is believed to be a huge admirer of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, so much so that the Reds’ mixed results so far this year haven’t necessarily deterred him from the move. Liverpool have suffered league defeats away to Brentford, Brighton and Wolves, as well as a loss to Brighton in the FA Cup and a 5-2 home win over Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 . Liverpool need midfield reinforcements with Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain both set to leave this summer when their contracts expire. However, Manchester United have also been linked with Bellingham and former Red Devils defender Rio Ferdinand has come out in favor of the youngster choosing Old Trafford over Anfield.
