Jude Bellingham spotted with Jordan Henderson amid 'very, very close' Liverpool transfer claim

Jordan Henderson and Jude Bellingham have once showed their strong bond after being spotted having lunch together in Qatar.

The England midfield duo have cemented their friendship during the World Cup as speculation that the Borussia Dortmund rising star could join the veteran Liverpool captain at Anfield in the near future intensifies.

The duo are also linking up well on the pitch with Henderson setting England on their way to a 3-0 victory over Senegal on Sunday after being assisted by Bellingham. They are now expected to start the Three Lions' huge quarter-final clash with France this weekend.

And this latest video (below) shows they are sticking close to each other off the field. It comes after their England team-mate, Everton defender Conor Coady, said that Henderson "looks after Bellingham like there's no tomorrow".

In the replies to the video, "agent Hendo" has been mentioned several times by Reds fans, who are convinced their captain is doing his best to convince Bellingham to join Liverpool over the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester City.

But whether he needs any convincing remains to be seen following an update from SportBild journalist Christian Falk yesterdat. Speaking to The Anfield Wrap, he said something that went down very well with Reds supporters.

Falk said: "You heard the news today, you will have heard that Bellingham and Liverpool are very, very close. There have been many, many talks. His father Mark, mother Denise and agent Mark Bennett are really focused on Liverpool."
