Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has raved about Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson, as quoted in The Liverpool Echo.
Kane is with Henderson in the England squad for the Euro 2020 finals.
Spurs striker Kane is a big fan of the Liverpool midfielder, and he has outlined his leadership qualities.
What’s been said?
Kane said about Henderson, as quoted in The Liverpool Echo: “For me, Jordan is one of the best leaders I have ever played with.
“He brings an awful lot to the squad. He is hugely respected among the rest of the players and the staff.
“He’s played at the highest level and won the biggest trophies. I definitely think he will be a big part to us going far in this tournament.
“He’s been working hard and training hard to get as fit as possible to be ready whenever called upon. I hugely respect Jordan and I’m very happy that he’s here with us in this camp.”
Big player for Liverpool and England
Liverpool fans will tell you how important Henderson is to the team.
The former Sunderland star is a leader, both on the pitch and off the pitch.
The 31-year-old has become better with age, and has proved all his detractors wrong.
Henderson has played a huge role in Liverpool winning the Premier League and the Champions League.
Some have questioned whether Henderson should be in the England squad due to injury problems.
Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips did extremely well in the opening game.
However, Henderson is hugely experienced, both at club level and in international football.
The Liverpool man is a player England head coach Gareth Southgate can rely on, as the team go further in the competition.
Henderson may not start against Scotland today, but no one should underestimate what he brings to the team.
