Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has spoken highly of Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham amidst long-term interest from the Reds.
The Brazilian, who has had a tough start to the new campaign, believes that it is ‘normal’ that Liverpool are linked with such big names across transfer windows.
The Athletic reported this month that Jurgen Klopp's side have a ‘strong interest’ in signing Bellingham this summer, but the wide consensus is that the English teenager will not be available until next summer due to Dortmund’s sale of Erling Haaland.

Spanish outlet Cadena SER have also reported that Liverpool have already made an offer to Dortmund for the youngster’s services.
And speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Fabinho clearly believes that he would be a good addition at Anfield.
“It is normal that good players are always linked with the club. I didn’t hear about Tchouameni.
“I heard about Bellingham because he is young and a really good player but he didn’t come. It is normal.

“Liverpool is a big club and wants to keep fighting with the best so it is normal that they will buy new players.”
Bellingham has also been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid after pictures were released with former player and manager Zinedine Zidane.
The Brit came through the ranks at Birmingham City aged just 15, making 44 senior appearances in his only season with his hometown club.
He then had the world at his feet, with offers from pretty much any club on the table for the then 17-year-old midfielder.

He chose Borussia Dortmund, and has since made 94 appearances for BVB, bagging 11 goals. He's also played 15 times for England.
Bellingham is clearly a player experienced beyond his years and, if he were to join, he could be a key cog in a Liverpool midfield for the distant future.
