Liverpool star spotted partying with Jude Bellingham in boost for Anfield transfer chances

Jude Bellingham appeared to have attended a concert with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold in London this weekend.

The Borussia Dortmund star’s performances for club and country have seen him become the most sought-after midfielder in world football.

Bellingham is allegedly Liverpool’s No.1 transfer target, while he has also reportedly garnered interest from the likes of Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Chelsea.

However, Dortmund, currently at the summit of the Bundesliga, are hoping to keep the 19-year-old beyond the summer, with his contract running until 2025.

While there has been much speculation around Bellingham’s future, the relationship between the teenager and several of Liverpool’s England contingent has boosted hopes that the Reds can prise him away from the Bundesliga side.

Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold spotted

Several fans on social media have shared a picture of Alexander-Arnold and Bellingham on a night out in London at the weekend.

In one picture, which seems to have been taken in the London restaurant Sexy Fish, the pair are having a meal together.

Meanwhile, there is footage of the England stars attending a Chris Brown concert at the O2 Arena, seemingly on the same night.

While Liverpool fans will be heartened to see Alexander-Arnold alongside Bellingham, transfer guru David Ornstein claimed this morning that there is “significant doubt” surrounding the Reds' chances of signing the midfielder.

According to the Athletic journalist, Liverpool’s hopes have been compromised by the anticipated fee, the financial power of rival suitors and the Reds’ reticence about entering a bidding war.

While this does not mean the club’s pursuit is off, Ornstein claimed City and Real are in stronger positions to sign the player.

The report will come as a blow to Liverpool fans, with the club in desperate need of reinforcements.

Jurgen Klopp’s side will finish the season empty-handed regarding major trophies, while they sit seven points outside the Champions League spots with several expiring contracts on the horizon.

Such factors will allegedly impact Liverpool's budget, and in turn, the club's hopes of signing Bellingham ahead of their rivals.
