Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham has laughed off reports suggesting he has already committed to joining Liverpool in the near future.
The 18-year-old has been outstanding for Dortmund since leaving Birmingham City in 2020, with all of Europe's elite monitoring the England international's progress.
Liverpool have been credited with an interest in Bellingham, but that was taken to the next level by former Middlesbrough midfielder Craig Hignett, who told BBC Radio Merseyside that he had heard 'on good authority' that Bellingham has been telling those close to him that he will be joining the Reds.
"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," Hignett said (via the Daily Mail). "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."
Well, those claims found their way to Bellingham, who replied to a tweet of the report with a GIF of himself laughing, which tells you everything you need to know about this story.
