Agent Jordan Henderson is at it again.
The Liverpool captain has moved closer to his club and England team-mate Jude Bellingham’s transfer target at the World Cup, and Reds fans are hoping he can work some magic to persuade the wanted teenager to move to Anfield.

A bromance is building between Henderson and Bellingham, and it’s clear the Liverpool captain would love to bring the teenager to Anfield
The pair combined brilliantly in England’s Round of 16 win over Senegal on Sunday, with Bellingham setting up his fellow midfielder for the opening goal – which no doubt left Liverpool fans dreaming of this what the pair could do together under Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool are just one of many clubs vying for the 19-year-old’s signature, however.
One of the Borussia Dortmund star’s many admirers is reigning Spanish and European champions Real Madrid. It turns out their fans seem just as keen as Liverpool to have him next season, as pictures making the rounds on TikTok show.
The clip posted by a fan on Twitter shows him filming his pals Bellingham and Henderson, as well as fellow Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold.
“Jude Bellingham, you are the best CM in the world. Very well. Come to Real Madrid, come to Real Madrid! the fan told Bellingham.
Originally, the teenager smiles and says thank you, but then starts pointing at Henderson, who can be heard saying something off-camera.

Finally, the fan tells Bellingham that he will win the Ballon d’Or if he signs for Los Blancos – to which the star replies: “We’ll see!”
The camera then focuses on Henderson, and it’s clear he’s keen on Liverpool beating their competition to catch Bellingham.
“No Madrid, no Madrid,” said the Liverpool star, waving his finger.
And it turns out the fan also had a message for the Liverpool skipper – although this one was a little less glowing.
“But you lose the Champions League final!” the fan laughed, causing Henderson to crack up with Bellingham.
Returning to the Borussia Dortmund star, the fan continues: “If you come to Real Madrid, you will get the Ballon d’Or!”
Very modestly, the English star replied: “Do you think so? We will see!”
The Three Lions will be in action again on Saturday night as they take on 2018 World Cup winners France in the quarter-finals, which you can listen to live on talkSPORT.
