Didi Hamann tells Liverpool to sign 'three or four midfielders' but identifies Jude Bellingham alternative LFC
Premier League press conferences, Liverpool injury update, Howe concerned for AtsuMan United could have dream XI with England quartet and Mbappe if Qatari takeover happensPiers Morgan leads Cristiano Ronaldo praise for reaching milestone with 61st hat-trickAdvertisement“There’s talk about Bellingham; whether they can afford him I’m not too sure.
“I think it will be mighty, mighty tough, even if they spend £200-250million, which I think they have to, to have a team next season to be competitive.“For me the most important position is the defensive midfield role. Next to Rodri, Fabinho was probably the best player in that position in the Premier League in the last five seasons but he hasn’t been playing well this season. Fabinho’s the wrong side of 30 now.“A player I’d like to see is Declan Rice.
“If you asked me now would I buy Bellingham for £120million or Rice, who would probably be a little bit cheaper, for me it would be a no-brainer.“With Bellingham I feel the jury’s still out. He’s a very talented player; when I watch him in Germany he’s very disciplined and he wouldn’t be able to do that in a big club in England. Out of Bellingham or Rice I’d take Rice all day long.”
Rice has been linked with Arsenal as well as Manchester United and a bidding war is expected at the end of the season.talkSPORT BET OFFER OF THE DAY18+ New customers only.
