Bellingham had long been linked with a big move to Liverpool. But it emerged last month that the Reds had walked away from their pursuit of the 19-year-old after the scale of their required summer overhaul in midfield became apparent.

While on international duty in March, Henderson had flirted with the possibility of Bellingham moving to Liverpool, calling the prospect of the pair playing together at club level “incredible”.

“Listen, I just want him (Bellingham) 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. 

“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’s just involved in football.”

But Reds fans were wondering if there would be another possibility after a newly released Sky Sports interview with Henderson.

Liverpool skipper asked: “Oasis of The Beatles”? After choosing the Fab Four over the Gallagher brothers, the Liverpool legends asked him for his favorite song. He replied, “Hey Jude,” before laughing and saying, “This is kind of controversial right now!”

Klopp confirmed after the capital match that he spoke to Henry at the team hotel on Tuesday night, saying: “We’ve already had a conversation. I knew he’d come.”

Asked what the conversation with the club owners was about, Klopp coyly dodged the question during Friday’s press conference, but did explain how his midfield rebuild will take shape alongside some of the younger players in his engineering department, such as Curtis Jones (22), Harvey Elliott (20) and Stefan Bajcetic (18).

“I said it, yes. I had [a meeting],” Klopp repeated. “We had conversations the night before the game. JK and JWH met. It was good, yes. You are welcome. Giving any insights? I’m not sure there is a cure
