LIVERPOOL could sign Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham in a swap deal that would see Naby Keita go the other way, reports suggest.

Bellingham, 19, has attracted a raft of transfer interest from the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and of course the Reds.

And it seems like the Merseysiders have found a way that could help them beat their intense competition to the midfielder's signature as early as the January transfer window.

According to Bild, Dortmund are "hot" for Keita, 27, and Liverpool may use that to their advantage.

Jurgen Klopp's side could thus attempt to thrash out a swap deal that would see the two midfielders moving to opposite directions.

But that is if the entire fee is paid up front by one of the 19-year-old's suitors.
