Liverpool are reportedly ‘keeping close tabs’ on Birmingham City teenager George Hall, who has been described as the ‘next Jude Bellingham’.
The 18-year-old is following in the footsteps of Bellingham, as both players have progressed through the ranks at the Championship outfit.
Hall made his debut for Birmingham last season and he has played 18 games this term in the second tier.
The midfielder is already being linked elsewhere. Back in December, it was reported that Liverpool, Leeds United and Everton are all interested in the teenager.
Football Insider are now reporting that Liverpool’s scouts have been keeping a close eye on Hall this season. A summer move for the Birmingham starlet is being ‘weighed up’.
