Adam Lallana has sparked Liverpool excitement by suggesting that Jude Bellingham is the ‘apprentice’ to ‘master’ Jordan Henderson.
England are into the last eight of the World Cup in Qatar after beating Senegal 3-0 on Sunday night.
Bellingham set up Henderson to score the opener after a rather slow first 30 minutes from England.
Bellingham then played a key role in Harry Kane scoring the second before Bukayo Saka wrapped it up with number three.
England now face a meeting with France and fans will be hoping for another Bellingham masterclass.
Lallana makes comment on Henderson and Bellingham
Seeing Bellingham and Henderson combine to such great effect in the England midfield will leave Liverpool fans dreaming.
Liverpool are keen to sign Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund this summer and will hope to pull off an ambitious deal.
Any slight advantage over other interested clubs will be absolutely vital and Henderson could provide that.
Henderson and Bellingham are known to be very close having struck up a great bond on international duty.
Henderson appears to have taken the 19-year-old under his wing, no doubt passing on valuable nuggets of experience.
The ultimate pay-off for Liverpool would be for Bellingham to pick Anfield as his next destination at the end of the season.
Borussia Dortmund will of course command huge money for Bellingham but Liverpool will surely pull out all the stops.
Former Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has now taken to Instagram to post a photo of Bellingham celebrating Henderson’s opener for England against Senegal.
Lallana added just three words in his caption, stating ‘master and apprentice’.
Liverpool fans unsurprisingly loved it, excitedly calling Lallana ‘agent Adam’ whilst suggesting that is trying to push Bellingham towards Anfield.
Even players who have left Liverpool are now seemingly angling for Bellingham to join Liverpool and see him learn from Henderson on the domestic stage, not just with England.
Whether that happens remains to be seen but the prospect of joining Henderson must massively appeal to Bellingham.
