Raging Liverpool fans urge club to ‘get Bellingham’ as deadline draws closer
Raging Liverpool fans have urged Jurgen Klopp to buy England wonder-kid Jude Bellingham with just seven days remaining in the summer transfer window.
A shrewd dealer in the market, the German gaffer, 55, is notorious for waiting until the prime time to sign his no1 target as evidenced by the Virgil van Dijk saga leading up to his £75million switch from Southampton in 2018.
Clearly keen on maintaining the dressing room harmony, Klopp has sanctioned just three new arrivals in the summer window. Fabio Carvalho, Darwin Nunez and Clavin Ramsay are the only new arrivals at Anfield – leaving fans concerned over a lack of depth in the middle of the park.

Known admirers of Borussia Dortmund teenager Jude Bellingham, the more vociferous amongst the Liverpool faithful are demanding an immediate end to their midfield uneasiness, which was unequivocally evident during their 2-1 defeat against arch-rivals Manchester United.
“All this talk about Jude Bellingham in next summer is making me physically sick, he might not be a Liverpool player and we need someone now. We need a midfielder, right here, right now,” posted one perturbed supporter.
“Waiting to bring in a player next year is so, so, so risky. What if we don’t get Champions League football? What if the player gets a better offer? If we are waiting for Bellingham, then it better happen,” harked a second.

Whilst former Red Stan Collymore tweeted: “Go and get Bellingham now. Test Dortmund’s resolve with a chunky bid and get him in. It’s not just City that Liverpool have to worry about.
“North London is more settled and Chelsea will keep spending. Make a statement, open the FSG vault and get some youthful dynamism in there.”
However, the efforts to persuade the Liverpool boss have fallen on deaf ears with Klopp confirming the Merseysiders are “done” in the transfer market.
“Selling Naby [Keita] now? And not replacing him? No, that is not possible! Of course not. But it is not the plan,” Klopp told reporters. “We are done [in the summer transfer window], it’s not that we think a player can go and we don’t replace him. There’s no chance. No.”
“Naby will not go but if he would – but he will not do! – then there must be a replacement of course, it’s clear. And yeah, sure, it would be very difficult to replace him.”
