Jordan Henderson has agreed in principle to a contract extension that would tie him to Liverpool for at least the next four years.

The England midfielder has enjoyed a fine campaign under Brendan Rodgers who also revealed today that he expects to sign a new deal once the season is over.

Henderson, 23, joined from Sunderland in 2011 for a fee in the region of £18million but endured a tough start to life at Anfield.

But the Wearsider has been a revelation this season as Liverpool turned into title challengers.

In August 2012 he turned down a move to Fulham after manager Brendan Rodgers had given the green light to his departure.
