Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is set to sign a new contract.

The Athletic reports Henderson has entered the final two years of his contract and was frustrated at the beginning of the summer when talks about extending his stay petered out.

But after successful talks with Liverpool's higher-ups, Henderson is expected to put pen to paper on a new three-year deal with the option to extend it by another year based on how many appearances he make.

The report goes on to claim that Henderson has not yet put pen to paper on a new deal but is expected commit his long-term future to the club after fears that a deal wouldn't be reached.

The Athletic have also claimed that manager Jurgen Klopp played a pivotal role in 'turning around a complicated situation'.
