Liverpool enter the race for Manchester United target Jude Bellingham - report

Jude Bellingham Birmingham City

Bellingham is said to be a target for Manchester United as well as a host of other Premier League clubs.

Man United were heavily linked to the 16-year-old in January but reportedly failed in their efforts to sign the youngster.

It's understood that Bellingham has six top-flight clubs chasing his signature, such is his promise as a player.

The England Under-17s captain is Birmingham City's youngest ever debutant and the midlands side value him at £30m.

And whilst Liverpool's interest spells concern for United, it's reported that Old Trafford is still the teenager's likeliest destination.

Jurgen Klopp's side, however, are the high-flying side in European football at this moment in time and could prove a tempting proposition for Bellingham.

But it mightn't just be English sides that make a move for the Blues' prized asset, as it's thought that the two La Liga giants are keeping an eye.

The increasing number of interested parties could drive Bellingham's price up - to the delight of Birmingham.

Birmingham currently sit 14th in England's second-tier, nine points clear of the drop-zone.
