After bringing in Calvin Ramsay, Darwin Nunez, and Fabio Carvalho, Liverpool appear to have completed their transfer business this window. The Merseyside club reached three finals, winning two trophies, so little improvement is needed to continue competing at the top.

With Fabinho, Thiago, Jordan Henderson, and James Milner all now into their thirties, signing a younger midfielder to blend into the team as the others drift out is a smart move.

Bellingham is still only 18, and is yet to reach his full potential, but there’s no doubt he could slot straight into the Liverpool team, having already gained valuable experience playing for his country, and playing regularly in the Champions League with Dortmund.
