LIVERPOOL have emerged as frontrunners in the battle to sign Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham.
That’s according to bookmakers Paddy Power, who’ve SLASHED their odds on England’s midfield maestro arriving at Anfield in January.

The Reds were previously offered at 6/1 to clinch his signature before the World Cup in Qatar.
But they are now available at 3/1 following Bellingham’s developing bromance with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson.
The 19-year-old has often be seen socialising with the Liverpool duo and posted several pictures on Twitter and Instagram with the pair.
Jurgen Klopp is desperate to bolster his midfield ranks, and will need to with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner all out of contract next summer.
A spokesman for Paddy Power said: “Jude Bellingham has spent so much time cosying up with the Liverpool lads out in Qatar that there can surely only be one destination for his next club.
“He and Henderson got very intimate after the Liverpool skipper’s goal against Senegal.
“So if the Three Lions plan on making it through to the semi-final, let’s hope that England back line are able to get even half as close to Kylian Mbappe.”

Paddy Power odds
Liverpool – 3/1 WAS 6/1
Manchester City – 4/1
Manchester United – 10/1
Real Madrid – 14/1
Newcastle – 16/1
Chelsea – 25/1
Arsenal – 33/1
Paris Saint-Germain – 33/1
Barcelona – 40/1
Tottenham – 66/1
The cheeky Irish bookie have Manchester City as second favourites at 4/1.
The Red side of Manchester could also be the Borussia Dortmund star’s next destination (10/1), while Real Madrid is his most likely new club, outside the Premier League (14/1).
Bellingham joined Borussia Dortmund from Championship side Birmingham City for what was an initial £25million in July 2020.
He’s since captained the side and scored 19 goals in all competitions for Dortmund, racking up over 110 appearances already.
Jude still has well over two years remaining on his contract, which expires in June 2025 and Dortmund have made it clear they want to keep hold of their prized asset.
If they are to sell, Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg thinks it’ll cost upwards of £130m.
