Jordan Henderson may have handed Liverpool a key advantage in the race to sign Jude Bellingham in next summer's transfer window.
Bellingham is set to be one of the most in-demand players at the end of the season, with Borussia Dortmund set to sell him. Liverpool are among the clubs chasing the England international, but face strong competition to bring him in.
Reigning Premier League champions Manchester City and reigning Champions League holders Real Madrid are both also thought to be interested in Bellingham. The 19-year-old is currently starring at the World Cup for England, with Henderson one of his team-mates.
