5 Reasons Why Jordan Henderson Can Be Liverpool Captain For Years to Come

Jordan Henderson’s form this season has been nothing short of frightening. At times he’s looked unstoppable in a Liverpool shirt!

Under Brendan Rodgers, he’s progressed his career to the next level and with the added responsibility of deputising as club captain to Steven Gerrard, he’s rose to the occasion.

With Gerrard’s departure to LA Galaxy just months away, Henderson will keep the captain’s armband – and there’s no reason why he can’t lead Liverpool to glory.

Here, we look at just a few reasons why that won’t be a problem for the young England midfielder:
