Henderson admits it "would be amazing" if Liverpool are able to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund this summer.
the Reds skipper has urged his fellow England international to think carefully about his next career move
The 19-year-old is Liverpool's primary summer transfer target with Jurgen Klopp a known admirer of the Dortmund star but the Reds will face stern competition
Any deal for the Reds would eclipse the club-record £75m fee paid for Virgil van Dijk in January 2018
Henderson: Listen, I just want him to be the best player he can be," Henderson said. "Of course, if it ended up being Liverpool, that would be amazing. But it’s got to be right for him, and it’s going to be every club you can think of that will want him.
He has to think about himself and make sure he makes the right decision for his career. But there’s going to be one club that will end up getting him, whether that is now or in a year or two, and it will be a lucky club.”
With Dortmund under no pressure to sell the England teenager, any deal for Bellingham would likely cost well over £100m
Henderson: His potential is through the roof. Honestly, I can’t believe his age, how mature he plays, how mature he is off the pitch, in the gym, training, everything, recovery day after the game. He is just dedicated to football.
“He is a really special player and I can't believe his mentality, how he applies himself to training and the games, everything. I’ve never seen it before so I'm pretty confident that he'll be a pretty good player for many years to come."
