Gerrard: I will fly to Dortmund to convince Bellingham to join Liverpool

"The obvious signing for Liverpool is Bellingham. Liverpool lack a runner number 8 who can get you a goal, the legs - he ticks a lot of boxes," Steven Gerrard told BT Sport.

"I am sure Jude Bellingham is bright enough to look at Liverpool, who have one of the top five managers in the world. They are building a new stand, they have world class facilities.

"I want Jude Bellingham at Liverpool.

"All he needs to do is send his diary to me. When he has a free day, I'll fly to Dortmund personally and take him out for a nice dinner! We'll take about it.

"I think it's important to stay in England to continue his growth and development. Just get him to send his diary to me!"

Dortmund have reportedly set a £150m price tag on the England international. He is expected to leave the German side in the summer.

Liverpool are said to have made signing Bellingham their priority for the summer window.
