Tribute to the former Sunderland star was also passed down by the club manager, Jurgen Klopp who thanked the player for his contributions to the team and even regards Jordan Henderson as one of the pillars to his team.
“You are a legend. I know people say recently we use that word slightly too often, I can tell you, that it’s not in your case.“ Jurgen Klopp said in a video shared on the club’s official social media pages.
Prior to the announcement, Jordan Henderson had shared on his Instagram page a goodbye message to the Liverpool fans and his teammates.
“It’s hard to put these last 12 years into words, it’s even harder to say goodbye. I will always be a Red. Until the day I die,”
“Thank you. You’ll never walk alone.” Jordan Henderson said in the video.
Jordan Henderson will reunite with former teammate and captain, Steven Gerrard who now manages Al Ettifaq.
Attention following the confirmation of Henderson’s exit from Liverpool switches to who replaces the England international in the team and also as the club’s captain.
