Gerrard: Liverpool must deal in Sterling, Henderson

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard is eager to see Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson secured to new contracts.

Gerrard rates the pair "the future of Liverpool".

He told the Daily Mail: "Liverpool need to sign up Raheem now. And Jordan Henderson too. When I was coming through, once I had a couple of years remaining, my contract would be renewed to avoid the worry.

"I see Jordan with a year left and Raheem's (contract situation) in the paper too much and I know there is no smoke without fire. My message to the club is: get these done. Sharpish. Sterling, Henderson, Sturridge and Coutinho, who has just signed, are the future of this club.

"I want to watch them delivering trophies for Liverpool. I should mention Jordon Ibe to you too."
