Former Middlesbrough midfielder Craig Hignett has reported Jude Bellingham expects to join Liverpool.
Bellingham, 18, has long been the subject of speculation surrounding his future at Borussia Dortmund, with Liverpool reportedly among his potential suitors.
And Scouser Hignett told BBC Radio Merseyside: "I think I've heard it on good authority and I can't say where I've heard it from, but apparently he has been saying that he is Liverpool bound.
"Whether that is January or whether that is the end of the season isn't sure yet, but I think, I have it on good authority that it is almost a cert.“
Bellingham is in his second season with BVB after last year's move from Birmingham City.
