Jordan Henderson has provided Liverpool with a lift after their FA Cup heartache by agreeing a new long-term contract.
The
club's vice-captain had 14 months remaining on his current contract and
his advisors had been in talks with Liverpool since the beginning of
this season.
They have now reached a resolution
and Henderson is expected to put pen-to-paper on improved terms that are
likely be worth in the region of £100,000. His new deal will run to
2020.
Henderson, 24, is the third big player in Brendan Rodgers'
squad to agree a contract extension, following on from Daniel Sturridge
and Philippe Coutinho.
The England international, who was signed
by Kenny Dalglish in June 2011 for £16million from Sunderland, has been
one of the most improved players under Rodgers' watch.
His form
this season has been excellent and he has contributed 13 assists as well
as seven goals from midfield; he will be considered for the role of
club captain when Steven Gerrard moves to LA Galaxy.
