Liverpool youngster Kevin Stewart has praised Jordan Henderson to the club’s official website, saying he is hoping to follow his career path in future.
The Reds captain has been in impressive form this season, playing a key role in his side’s strong start to the season.
It has been an impressive turnaround for him at the club after he initially struggled to prove himself following a big money move from Sunderland.

His fine form over the last years has seen him become an England regular, with many touting his as a future replacement for Wayne Rooney as captain.
One man who appears to be keeping a keen eye is Stewart, who says he is hoping to follow a similar career path.
“He is really experienced and has gone down the path I want to in the future,” he told the club’s official website.
“To see what he goes through and what he is doing is really important, to have a look and not copy him exactly but learn from what he does.”

It remains to be seen if Stewart can break through into the Liverpool first team in the near future.
He is certainly highly regarded at Anfield and has impressed in his handful of appearances for the club so far.
He faces a fight to get in with the Reds midfield currently a highly competitive one, to say the least.
Jurgen Klopp has shown his desire to give youth a chance before now and the 23-yeard old will be keen to benefit from that faith.
