Luke Shaw was full of praise for Manchester United target and fellow England international Jude Bellingham.
The pair are currently preparing for the quarter-finals of the World Cup with the Three Lions, who will face France on Saturday, December 10.
Four Reds will feature including Shaw, Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford and Raphael Varane.
United are one of many clubs in the race for Bellingham, who is only raising his price tag with his performances on the world stage. Liverpool and Real Madrid are reportedly the two teams leading the battle for the Birmingham-born talent, who looks set to leave Borussia Dortmund next summer.

Shaw spoke highly of the 19-year-old to talkSPORT, saying: “He’s obviously very young but he’s got a good head, he thinks right, he’s got good people around him.”

He then told of the teenager’s bond with Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and how the senior player is ensuring Bellingham is staying focused on football.
The left-back added: “He deserves every bit of praise that he’s getting, he’s a fantastic player. I said before the tournament that he was going to be an important player for us [England] and not just now – for the future. He’s been exceptional. He needs to keep them standards high and keep pushing himself and hopefully deliver another brilliant performance against France.”
