[Liverpool](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) midfielder, and they probably aren't even in the top 10 requests if we're honest, but as he remodels his side in the next couple of years Klopp is likely to need a player who can chip in with a few strikes. That worry grew to panic when Marco Reus clipped a cross into the box early in the second half, and there was Bellingham stooping to conquer and shock the hosts. The real clues that he is made for the Reds came in the first period of the match, when both he and Emre Can - a man who knows all about playing in a Klopp midfield - were hugely impressive in their dutiful showing in the middle of the park. Showing an impressive instinct, Bellingham was in the right place at the right time to nod home Dortmund's opener on a night when they often left City angry and frustrated, the hosts struggling to break through a yellow wall in the way that they often do to pretty much everyone else. But while it often didn't catch the eye in the flashy way that all of those obvious moments do, bar one fine early pass, there was so much to admire about the first 56 minutes of the Englishman's display at the Etihad Stadium, and you can bet a certain Jurgen Klopp was taking a keen interest too.

'Bellingham shows why he must start for England' (BBC Sport)

Jude Bellingham's performance for Borussia Dortmund at Manchester City shows why he should be an England starter, says Phil McNulty.

It could come back in a moment of inspiration but City have such riches that he needs to find form and fast. This is why City were determined to beat the likes of Real Madrid to Haaland's signature. Add this to their list of recent comebacks. It is no surprise that every top club in Europe is casting eyes towards Dortmund should they decide to sell next summer. Bellingham has the full range of passing. Phillips was thrown on for Haaland as City manager Pep Guardiola ran down the clock but at kick-off on Wednesday he had figured for a grand total of 13 minutes and two games, with no starts and only 23 touches, since the £45m switch from Elland Road that was designed to propel his career forward for club and country.

They are off the mark in Group F with one point, but the Celtic fans will have a feeling of frustration. They had more than enough chances to beat the Ukrainians. It was hard to see Shakhtar scoring in the first half, but they showed why they're among Europe's elite with that quick counterattack. There are ready-made replacements in waiting - expect them to be utilised if he cannot reach the mark. Chelsea did hold Salzburg in their own half for long periods but at no point did you believe the former Barcelona striker was going to make a discernible difference. His reading of the situation to beat the City defenders to Marco Reus' cross was very Frank Lampard-like. The days of debating whether Lampard and Gerrard can play together are gone. Mature beyond his years, the clamour for a more important role for Bellingham within the England set up looks set only to get louder as Qatar approaches. And yet, as the supporters strode away from the stadium, it was the stunning denouement that will have been freshest in their mind. The bigger the stage. On this night, they were the victims of it. Dortmund were once the beneficiaries of this extraordinary talent.

Rio Ferdinand believes England international Jude Bellingham will be thinking he has “already outgrown Borussia Dortmund”.

“He does the basics always really well. He can play further forward, deeper, he can pass it,” said former England midfielder Hargreaves. “He will be important because he will get them up the pitch and want to show them this is his stage and show he is the real deal. “With all due respect, he will think, ‘I could be a year behind when I should have left’. “He’s physical and aggressive.

Pep Guardiola has delivered his verdict on Jude Bellingham after the Englishman put in a good performance against Manchester City on Wednesday night.

Dortmund could be more tempted, or open, to selling the teenager with that in mind. Plus, he looks a shoo-in for Gareth Southgate's Three Lions World Cup squad and quality performances on the biggest stage may inflate his value that little bit more. Jurgen Klopp's Reds are in a similar boat though, especially considering how the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho have been impacted by injuries in recent months. "Defensively he’s able to follow Gundogan or Kevin [De Bruyne] in the pockets and win the duels. With the futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho at Stamford Bridge uncertain, the Blues are in need of long-term midfield replacements. "So he’s an exceptional player, I think everyone knows it.

The econometric system estimates that Bellingham is worth between €150million-€200million (£130.4million-£174million).

Lampard was used in a diamond midfield both behind the strikers and as a natural 8. He was part of the Euro 2020 squad last summer but didn't start a match and played less than one hour in total across three games. He defends well as a midfield player but then he has the potential to be offensive. It is believed that the Blues did make an attempt, albeit it speculative, to get him one season early, but that was to no avail. Next summer there won't be the same freedom and they could end up in a mammoth bidding war. City have a relationship with Dortmund that Chelsea can't currently rival, with Roman Abramovich and Marina Granovskaia not having been involved in transfer discussions with the German club in recent years. The pair played each other in the 2021 tournament and one year later Erling Haaland is tearing up the Premier League in a sky blue shirt. He is a box-to-box player, that old-school profile. He’s only improved and his price has certainly only gone up." But this kid is also capable of scoring from outside the box. "Lampard shoots ten times, he scores nine goals, he always hits the target.

Manchester United are one of the favourites to get Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham. However, Liverpool are leading the race.

However, United will have to pull off a coup to entice the 19-year-old to Old Trafford. The Brazilian marshals the middle of the park and shields the backline effectively. While he played in the number eight role the most, the England international has also been deployed as the pivot or out wide in the midfield. In Germany, the 19-year-old has immediately established himself as a regular. Christian Eriksen, who had a short stint at Brentford, came to United as a free agent. Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid have also been linked with the 19-year-old.
