As speculation regarding Jude Bellingham’s future rages on, Jordan Henderson’s latest comments on his England team-mate can be taken one of two ways depending on if your glass is half full or half empty.
“I just want him to be the best player he can be," the Liverpool captain said during the March international break when asked about the teenager’s future. "Of course, if it ended up being Liverpool, that would be amazing. But it’s got to be right for him, and it’s going to be every club you can think of that will want him.
"He has to think about himself and make sure he makes the right decision for his career. But there’s going to be one club that will end up getting him, whether that is now or in a year or two, and it will be a lucky club.”
