Jordan Henderson has been named as Liverpool’s new captain
following Steven Gerrard’s departure for MLS club LA Galaxy.
The midfielder, 25, has become an integral part of the Anfield side after moving there from Sunderland in 2011 for a fee thought to be between £16m and £20m.
His appointment as skipper was widely expected after he deputised for Gerrard in games when the former England star wasn’t selected last season.
Henderson told liverpoolfc.com: "I'm absolutely delighted and
proud. It is a great honour and a huge privilege to be named as the captain of this football club.
"When Steven wasn't in the team last season, I tried to do the best I could when I stepped in and took the armband. Now I'll be
looking to carry that on and continue to grow as a captain.
"I'll look to give my best all of the time, put the team firmly first and try to give them - or help them with - whatever they need from me.
