Jude Bellingham's potential is through the roof - Jordan Henderson

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson believes he has never seen a young player with the same mentality as Jude Bellingham and said playing alongside his England team-mate at Anfield next season would be "amazing".

Bellingham enjoyed another fine international break where he was once again one of the standout players as England beat Italy and Ukraine to take control of their Euro 2024 qualification group.

The 19-year-old has also starred for Borussia Dortmund again this season, with his performances helping Edin Terzic's side to the top of the Bundesliga.

Bellingham already has 24 England caps and scored his first goal in the World Cup win over Iran, with Henderson suitably impressed by what he has seen at close quarters.

"His potential is through the roof, really," he said.

"He can be as good as he wants to be – but he’s got the right mentality, which is the most important thing.

"He is a really special player and I can’t believe his age and 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.

"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’s a lot better than me, that’s the difference," added Henderson.

"I can see that, but he’s better than I was at
