Liverpool boss Rodgers excited working with Henderson

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has full confidence he'll bring out the best in Jordan Henderson.

Where Henderson, who played twice for England at Euro 2012, will fit into Rodgers' system remains to be seen but the manager is adamant he has the attributes to make a difference.

"This kid can play football," said Rodgers. "If he is in a certain system, in an environment which is going to help him and educated him in the game, you will see that. The biggest thing for me that I've heard about Jordan is his attitude. He has got an incredible attitude.

"If you have got a player like that who has got the ability and the thirst to learn - he can run all day, he is physically good, he is strong, he is quick - and you can remodel him, you can end up getting the value you paid."
