Jordan Henderson makes Jude Bellingham claim amid Liverpool transfer rumours

Liverpool's Jordan Henderson has once again praised rumoured Reds target Jude Bellingham.

The Dortmund midfielder only joined the German outfit last year, but he's already being linked with a return to England and a number of Premier League clubs are said to be interested.

The Reds are reportedly one of the clubs targeting the rising star and Henderson has appeared to have formed a budding friendship with Bellingham.

The most recent example came in a video produced by BT Sport, where the Three Lions were asked a series of quick fire questions.

One of the questions was to name the hardest-working England teammate.

The Liverpool captain named Bellingham as his answer, and it isn't the first time he's praised the 18-year-old.

Last month, Henderson admitted: "He is miles ahead of me when I was that age.

"Even at such a young age he shows fantastic maturity on and off the field. You can see how hungry he is to be a top player and has all the attributes to do that.

"I was trying to help as much as I could but to be honest he is a top player who has shown that in the big games for Dortmund. I see him going from strength to strength all the time."

After joining Dortmund from Birmingham City in July 2020, Bellingham has already scored six goals and registered nine assists in under 60 first team appearances for the club.

His form also earned him his first England call-up almost a year ago and he's quickly becoming a key figure under Gareth Southgate.
