The manner of Liverpool’s Champions League exit this week has hardened Jurgen Klopp’s position that the Reds must sign . Writing for today, Falk reported that Klopp now sees signing Bellingham as an absolute necessity. The Liverpool boss is said to be ready to push other targets down the pecking order until the 19-year-old is brought to Anfield. Other targets such as Eintracht Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani. “I heard that because of Liverpool’s experience in the Champions League this term, Jurgen Klopp made his thoughts very clear: Bellingham is now the top, top target,” writes Falk.
If it wasn’t already absolutely clear to Liverpool, then Wednesday night should have hammered it home: The Reds midfield is currently holding them back.
The sight of former Liverpool target Aurelien Tchouameni consigned to the bench must have been a frustrating one for Klopp as well.
