Henderson up there with Liverpool’s great captains & a Player of the Year contender, says Adam

The former Reds midfielder was at Anfield when an underrated performer took his first tentative steps towards becoming a key man on Merseyside

Jordan Henderson is “up there with the great Liverpool captains” and must be considered a serious contender for the 2019-20 Player of the Year award, says former Reds star Charlie Adam.

Plaudits are raining down on the Anfield skipper this season as his value finally gains widespread recognition.

Henderson has already been honoured as England’s best performer from 2019, while his efforts at club level have allowed him to get his hands on Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup crowns.
