Jude Bellingham has been urged to sign for Liverpool by England midfielder Jordan Henderson as the Three Lions star continues to build a close relationship with Jurgen Klopp's men. The Reds' captain impressed as England beat Senegal 3-0 in the World Cup last-16 match, scoring the first goal.
Henderson is starting to develop on the pitch with Bellingham as well as off it now after the pair linked up in midfield to control the game once ahead. The Borussia Dortmund man was the star of the show for Gareth Southgate's side and continues to impress everyone with his performances, including those who are interested in signing him.
Having taken his game to new levels in Bundesliga, Chelsea are one of many teams that will be competing for his signature in 2023, with a huge price tag of in excess of £100million. That isn't going to stop Todd Boehly from trying to land the youngster, but that may not come into the equation.

Bellingham is likely to have the choice of the world when it comes to where his next destination lies, and Liverpool's players are doing their best to strike up a rapport with the 19-year-old. He's already been seen spending a lot of time with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Henderson appears the latest to be close with him.
Henderson and Bellingham came together to celebrate after England scored and also did post-match media duties together with Alexander-Arnold involved. Now, a video has surfaced of a fan in Qatar urging him to join European champions Real Madrid. Sat alongside the Liverpool duo, Bellingham sheepishly shrugs off the attention before pointing to Henderson when being told he could be the best midfielder in the world.
The Liverpool player responded: "He's not going to Madrid, not Madrid, not Madrid, no." The fan then replied: "Don't go to Liverpool," before Henderson dealt a hammer blow to Chelsea fans watching on. He answered: "Yes come to Liverpool," before Bellingham gave his own little hint, saying: "We'll see."
Chelsea have their own piece in the Bellingham game as Reece James is known to be very close to him. James is missing out on this chance though due to injury, and Chelsea themselves could pay with their venture to sign Bellingham.
