Liverpool will be 'going all in' to lure Borussia Dortmund central midfielder Jude Bellingham to Anfield 'at the end of the season', according to talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook.

Although Arthur Melo joined the Reds on a season-long loan from Juventus during the final hours of the summer transfer window, it appears that boss Jurgen Klopp has already made future plans.

What's the latest news involving Bellingham?

According to Football Insider, Liverpool are making strong progress in their pursuit of Dortmund star Bellingham and working on a deal for him to join in the summer of 2023.

The report suggests the 15-cap England international has been identified by the Merseyside giants' recruitment team as a midfielder who is capable of taking Klopp's side to the next level.

It is understood that Dortmund were unwilling to sanction Bellingham's exit for less than £103million ahead of last Thursday's deadline.

Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United reportedly joined Liverpool in the race for the 19-year-old's signature during the summer.

However, the Reds are confident that they are in pole position to secure Bellingham's services and he is expected to join next summer.

What has Alex Crook said about Bellingham?

Crook understands that Bellingham is firmly in Liverpool's sights despite the transfer window closing last week.

The talkSPORT reporter is aware that the Reds are preparing to double down in their efforts to get a deal for the Dortmund man over the line.

He is confident that Liverpool will look to win the race for Bellingham's signature after the 2022/23 campaign comes to a close.

Crook told GIVEMESPORT: "They're going all in for Bellingham at the end of the season."

Would Bellingham be a good signing for Liverpool?

Bellingham may still be a teenager, but he has already made 140 appearances during the early stages of his senior career and contributed 15 goals, along with 21 assists, along the way.

He has enjoyed success in Germany and clinched silverware at Dortmund, so he would undoubtedly bring a winning mentality to Liverpool.

Bellingham has also earned praise from his team-mates, with his ability being described as 'scary' by Jack Grealish and Mats Hummels claiming he is a 'fantastic footballer' who is 'already a leader'.

Statistics show he averaged more assists and a higher percentage of shots on target than current Liverpool midfielders Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Thiago Alcantara and James Milner last season, so Bellingham could make the Reds more of a threat going forward.
