Jordan Henderson Has Arrived

A twenty-year-old Jordan Henderson signed for Liverpool FC on 9th June 2011 for the hefty, many would say extortionate, price of what is believed to be around £20 million. It’s fair to say that this is an incredible case of overpayment from Liverpool, considering Henderson had only made his Premier League debut two years earlier and only managed one England cap. But even so, Jordan Henderson was, and maybe still is, considered one of England’s hottest young prospects. FIFA even named Henderson as one of their “Players to Watch” in January 2011, a list which contained the likes of Shinji Kagawa, Mats Hummels and David de Gea.
