Liverpool turn attention to key Arsenal target as Bellingham stance revealed

Arsenal transfer news: Liverpool are said to be keen on Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who has also been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium

According to The Times, Liverpool have cooled their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham.

It is claimed that the Reds have decided that they need to bring in two midfielders during the summer transfer window, meaning a £100+ million move for Bellingham may not be the most sensible of moves. The report goes on to claim that Jurgen Klopp's side are interested in Bayern Munich youngster Ryan Gravenberch, who is also said to be admired by Arsenal.

"But if that doesn’t work out and I don’t get opportunities, then maybe I should look elsewhere. At the moment, however, I’m not so concerned with that and I hope that I can change my situation at Bayern.

"I'm still convinced in my choice (to join Bayern) and don’t regret it at all. I had certainly hoped and also expected I would play more at Bayern. So far it has not gone as expected. For me that’s a pity, but I’m dealing with it well."
