Bellingham has been strongly linked with a move away from Borussia Dortmund, with several top clubs interested in the 19-year-old.

According to Marca, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Liverpool have all made offers for Bellingham.

Hutchison told ESPN FC: "Liverpool are putting all their eggs in Bellingham's basket by giving them number 8, the Steven Gerrard armband.

"I don't think they can sell Steven Gerrard's number 8 and give it to Osimhen. I don't think it will quite work."
