Klopp lauds Henderson after new deal

Manager Jurgen Klopp believes Jordan Henderson is the embodiment of a Liverpool player after his captain committed himself to the club for the peak years of his career.

The Reds boss praised his “General” and is convinced the 28-year-old can still get even better over the course of what is understood to be a five-year contract.

“It is fantastic news but should not be a surprise to anyone – he is perfect for us and we for him, I think,” Klopp told liverpoolfc. com.

“Jordan embodies entirely what it means to be a Liverpool player in this modern era of football.”
