Speaking on Brighton’s official YouTube channel, Adam Lallana has been discussing the budding bromance between Jude Bellingham and Jordan Henderson.
The Liverpool skipper and Bellingham appear to be getting along famously in the England camp. They celebrated together as if they were long-term teammates against Senegal, while they’ve both spoken so highly of one another off the pitch.
As one of Henderson’s best friends within the game, Lallana is, understandably, feeling a bit jealous of this relationship, stating that he’s not so sure he likes what he’s seeing between the pair.
Of course, these comments are very much tongue-in-cheek, and Lallana eventually concluded that their friendship will only be a good thing for the England team.
Lallana’s jealousy
The Brighton midfielder spoke about Henderson and Bellingham becoming closer.
“There’s a little bromance going on between him and Jude Bellingham, I’m not so sure I like that, but that’s incredible to see, him rolling the ball across for him and how they celebrated together. That shows a real connection,that’s what you want in the team, that connection and energy, those friendships that are created can be that extra percent at times,” Lallana said.
Only getting closer
Unfortunately for Lallana, Bellingham and Henderson may only get closer in the coming months.
Indeed, with reports circulating that Liverpool are leading the race for his signature, it seems as though these two may soon be united as club level as well as international level.
Bellingham’s friendship with Henderson may well tempt him to Anfield, while his budding relationship with Trent Alexander-Arnold certainly won’t dissuade him either.
