Jordan Henderson flirts with Jude Bellingham in Sky Sports interview with ‘controversial’ answer
LIVERPOOL captain Jordan Henderson joked “that’s a bit controversial” after naming Hey Jude as his favourite song by The Beatles.
The Reds skipper couldn’t help but giggle amid the transfer speculation linking Jude Bellingham to Anfield.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham, 19, was strongly linked with a move to Liverpool in recent months.
That was until the Reds pulled out of the race to sign the England star at the beginning of April.
Then, in a recent interview with Sky Sports, Henderson picked The Beatles over Oasis and was asked to name his favourite track by the band.
He responded “Hey Jude” – before proceeding to bust out laughing.
Chuckling away, Henderson knowingly added: “That’s a bit controversial isn’t it at the minute.”
Henderson and Bellingham are good friends, and back at the World Cup celebrated hilariously together after inspiring England to victory over Senegal.
Their friendship, as well as Bellingham’s friendship with Trent Alexander-Arnold, sparked rumours that the ex-Birmingham City man was on his way to Anfield.
But Liverpool are now claimed to have ended their pursuit of Bellingham due to the finances involved in any potential transfer.

So Henderson admitted naming Hey Jude as his favourite Beatles track was a “controversial” move.
Bellingham is one of the hottest prospect in world football and already has 24 England caps to his name, despite his tender age.
SunSport exclusively revealed Manchester City began ramping up their charm offensive to land Bellingham last October.
Elsewhere, Manchester United and Real Madrid are also keen on his signature.
Bellingham has scored 11 goals and provided seven assists in 40 games in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund this season.
