Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has sent a message to Jude Bellingham after the teenager’s performance for England.
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder starred for the Three Lions in their 3-3 draw with Germany on Monday night. Bellingham was later replaced by Henderson in the closing minutes, in what was the Reds skipper’s first minutes since returning from injury.
Bellingham continues to be linked with a move to Liverpool, as has been the case for the past 12 months or more. Reports in recent days have suggested that a £130million price tag has been set by Dortmund, with Real Madrid also said to be in the race.

After the draw with Germany, Bellingham was awarded the Player of the Match, and posted the award on Instagram. Henderson reacted to the post by commenting with a fire emoji.
Bellingham himself has been full of praise for Henderson while on international duty. The duo were training together at the start of the international break, and the Dortmund star would remark on how the Liverpool captain has helped him.
"I've played with really good leaders, Harry Kane, Jordan Henderson,” Bellingham said last week .
“There's been a few occasions when I've made a mistake with how I've communicated with people and there's been clips that have circulated.
“That's part of the game for me, I'm still young and learning how I need to talk to people to get a certain reaction. But I think the main part of being a leader is leading by example. I want to worry about myself and make sure I'm OK first. Then I think it puts you in a better position to help lead others.”
