Jamie Carragher makes John Henry 'anxious' claim over Liverpool target Jude Bellingham

Jamie Carragher believes FSG chief John Henry will be watching Jude Bellingham and 'feeling anxious' in the understanding that the midfielder's value will be increasing week-on-week.

Bellingham starred once again for England as they cruised to a 3-0 World Cup round-of-16 win against Senegal on Sunday evening. It was his driving run and cutback that fed Jordan Henderson - a glimpse of the future, maybe? - to stroke home the opener on 38 minutes, and it was the 19-year-old whose claiming of a loose ball in the middle of the park set the wheels in motion for Harry Kane to net the second.

Such performances on the world stage will only send Bellingham's value - already expected to be upwards of £100million - through the proverbial roof. Liverpool have long been linked with the teenager but know they will face stiff competition from the seemingly endless wealth coming out of Real Madrid and Manchester City - and former Red Carragher knows the decision-makers of all three sides will be watching on in the knowledge their cheque to Borussia Dortmund is increasing by the minute.
