In any form of negotiation, putting all your eggs in one basket is never the solution. Even if that's what it feels like that Liverpool is doing at the moment, that certainly won't be the case when it comes to Jude Bellingham. He may be Jürgen Klopp's primary target, but the club's recruitment team should have alternatives lined up just in case.

He's an all-rounder; the perfect box-to-box player with the kind of high-intensity playing style that suits gegenpressing style.



He may be the full package, but that doesn't mean that doesn't have other possible alternative options the club could target.



For example, as per Wyscout, Fofana averages similar numbers to Bellingham when it comes to smart (Fofana 1.39 and Bellingham 1.58) and key passes (Fofana 0.24 and Bellingham 0.26) per 90.



Fofana averages 06 progressive runs per 90 while Bellingham averages 2.11, highlighting their similarity when it comes to carrying the ball forward with their feet.
