Liverpool are “at the front of the queue” to sign exciting Birmingham City star Jude Bellingham, according to 90min.
The 16-year-old has burst onto the scene for the Championship club this season, scoring twice from midfield in four appearances.
Liverpool are thought to be looking to complete a move for Bellingham before the January transfer window.
Manchester City and Arsenal are also interested in the youngster, while Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have also scouted him, but the Reds find themselves in pole position.

Although Bellingham wouldn’t represent a short-term acquisition, adding immediate quality to Liverpool’s midfield, his capture would still be hugely exciting.
The Reds have some stellar talent in their academy already, from Ki-Jana Hoever to Harvey Elliott, and the Birmingham starlet could flourish alongside them.
A loan move could also be an option, allowing him to continue to grow as a player.
Nothing is concrete yet, in terms of the transfer coming to fruition, but Liverpool being favourites to sign such a top English prospect is further proof of their current standing in the game.
