Despite the elimination of Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League at the hands of Chelsea, there was a player who stood out above all in the German team and who showed that he can make the leap to a truly elite club that can fight to win the highest European competition. That player is Jude Bellingham. This was not lost on Arsenal legend Thierry Henry who did not hesitate to praise the midfielder following the game.

Bellingham is the “complete” player - Henry

“He’s all-round, he’s complete, he likes to show some movement, skills going forward,” the former French striker said. “What I like about him is the way he always wants the ball, he never hides whether he has to defend or to attack, he’s always on the ball looking to see if he can feed his strikers.

“This is what I like about him, he’s willing to try and get the ball back - it’s not only about skills in football. He’s going to get that ball, see if he can play, he’s going to go around and pass it, be available and pass it to his mate again. He can do whatever he wants at this particular moment and we all know this is why a lot of people want him because he has that in his locker. Taking the ball, going the other side, dummying the player and finishing with the outside of his foot, what a player.”

Bellingham to Liverpool?

But following his useful analysis of the player, Henry and Carragher hinted that they may have the inside track on where the Englishman will end up playing next season.

“A lot of teams want him. We all have an idea of where he might end up, Jamie, right?”

“Hopefully, fingers crossed,” Liverpool legend Carragher replied.

The conversation concluded with them agreeing that comparisons can already be made to one of the all-time greats of English football, former Reds star, Steven Gerrard.
