Jamie Carragher says Liverpool owner John W. Henry will be very nervous watching transfer target Jude Bellingham at the World Cup.

Writing in his Telegraph column, the Anfield hero has sung the praises of the 19-year-old midfielder, who is demonstrating unbelievable quality in an England shirt out in Qatar.

With the Reds fully emersed in the battle to secure the Borussia Dortmund star’s signature, Carragher has said Henry will be anxiously watching on as the Englishman excels for his country.

“There will be only three people in the world watching Bellingham in Qatar and feeling anxious – Florentino Pérez, Sheikh Mansour and JW Henry,” he said.

“The owners of Real Madrid, Manchester City and Liverpool know they will be involved in an auction to get him.”

Every performance Bellingham continues to shine, the more money Dortmund can add to his price-tag.

Currently valued at £130m, it’s extremely possible the German club will hike up their valuation of the player.

Already dominating at a World Cup, the 19-year-old’s potential is unfathomable.

Therefore, whichever team wins the race is set to have a world-class midfielder on their hands for over a decade.

Whilst this is a fantastic investment to make, Henry will be dreading the day he has to part with the nine-figure sum needed to land Bellingham.

Furthermore, with such hype surrounding a possible Anfield switch, he will also be dreading the possibility of missing out on the signing.

If the youngster ends up at Madrid, there is sure to be a certain level of backlash on Merseyside.
