LIVERPOOL’S promising Tyler Morton could do a Jude Bellingham — and be snapped up by German giants Borussia Dortmund.
The midfielder, 20, is starring on loan at Blackburn in their promotion push and the Bundesliga outfit are taking a keen interest.
Stylish Morton is seen as a Kop star of the future but he may have a long wait for that chance at Anfield.
Dortmund are famed for raiding English clubs to grab talent on the way up after landing England star Bellingham and Jadon Sancho.
Their English spy Daniel Dodds is checking on Morton. He was formerly at the FA, Southampton and Nottingham Forest before joining the German club.
Dortmund could ask for Morton as part of a Bellingham deal if he opts to move to Merseyside.

Morton is on a long contract at Anfield and not showing any interest in leaving.
But if Dortmund make a pitch then it may be hard to refuse.
