Liverpool's Jordan Henderson with Jude Bellingham

“I’m sure he’ll sit down with his family in the future to decide what route he wants to take. Whatever route that is or whatever club that is, that will be a lucky club to have him. His potential is through the roof, really. He can be as good as he wants to be,” Henderson said this week.

“He's got the right mentality, which is the most important thing. He’s really special and I can't believe his age and his mentality – how he applies himself to training and games.

"I've never seen it before so I'm pretty confident he'll be a pretty good player for many years to come.”

Jude Bellingham has contributed 10 goals and 5 assists in 34 appearances this season.
