Henderson admits discussing Liverpool contract issues with Sterling

Jordan Henderson admits speaking with Raheem Sterling over their contract talks with Liverpool. Both players have suspended negotiations until the summer.

Henderson told the Sunday Telegraph: "My agent and Raheem's agent will be speaking to the club to try to sort something out (in the summer).

"I've spoken to Raheem and said: 'Listen, you just concentrate on your football, that's the most important thing, and you can get to the summer and then agents and clubs can sort it out then.'

"We've still got a lot to play for this season: we want to get in the top four and win the FA Cup. These are a big few months for us. I don't want any contracts (talk) to get in the way. We can't afford that. It doesn't affect my commitment to the club. The contract talk in the press has been going on a long time and if you watched the games I've played, I'm sure you'll realise it hasn't affected us in the slightest."
