Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has given his response to Virgil van Dijk’s new contract with the Reds, with a message to the defender.

Van Dijk ended any speculation over his future on Thursday by putting pen-to-paper on a new two-year deal.

Just days after the confirmation of the new deal he could become the first captain since Henderson to lead Liverpool to a Premier League title.

Henderson lifted the trophy back in 2019, but it came at a time where fans weren’t allowed in stadiums due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

A win over Leicester City on Sunday afternoon, coupled with Arsenal losing against Ipswich a couple of hours earlier will see Liverpool confirmed as Champions.

Arne Slot’s men are currently 13 points clear of second placed Arsenal with just six games left to play.
