The 22-year-old’s emergence as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League is likely to see him leave Forest before or immediately after next year’s World Cup.And as journalist Graeme Bailey exclusively tells RTK, Liverpool could be getting a Jordan Henderson regen if they decide to pull the trigger on Anderson.Photo by Sebastian Frej/Getty ImagesElliot Anderson is so similar to Jordan HendersonAnderson has been making Newcastle regret their decision to sell him virtually since the day he arrived at Forest.With the England international now ready to join one of the Premier League’s top clubs, Bailey says he could see Anderson’s career following that of Henderson’s.READ MORE: Tyler Morton explains the real reason Arne Slot never gave him a chance at Liverpool“Anderson reminds me of Jordan Henderson in so many ways,” says the transfer expert. It was the first time I saw him and I remember thinking ‘who is this lad?!’ He was outstanding.”“The same thing happened to me with Elliot Anderson.

He was playing on the wing for Bristol Rovers, just like Henderson when he was younger, he looked like a winger but he became natural more internal. I think he could have that sort of career.”Liverpool could be in the mix for AndersonAlthough Henderson has something of a mixed reputation among Liverpool supporters, his standing should definitely be higher.The former captain was a complete midfielder at his best, and was the heartbeat of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool for close to a decade.Given the similar traits in Anderson’s game, Bailey says it would not be a surprise if the Reds firm up their interest in the Forest star.“We know a lot of teams really rate him, he could be England’s number eight at the World Cup the way he’s going.

Why wouldn’t Liverpool be keen on him?” he says.“I think there’s a good chance he leaves Forest next summer, and when he does go he’s going to be in the Adam Wharton price category. Everyone’s aware of Anderson, but I think more and more he could be one Liverpool look at.
