Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes Jordan Henderson is a Premier League title winning captain in waiting.

The 28-year-old midfielder lifted his third trophy with the club on Saturday following an extra-time victory against Bazilian side Flamengo in the Club World Cup.

"To think his first official season as Reds captain ended with the club finishing eighth in the Premier League is remarkable," said Redknapp in his Daily Mail column.

"He took over from a legend in Steven Gerrard in 2015 and it was not the easiest time for him or his team-mates. Jurgen Klopp replaced Brendan Rodgers midway through the season and they eventually missed out on Europe.

"But look at Henderson now. A Champions League winner, a Club World Cup winner, and a Premier League winner in-waiting."
