Liverpool told to sign 'really expensive' Premier League midfielder to replace Jordan Henderson

Liverpool should look no further than Declan Rice if they are searching for a replacement for Jordan Henderson, according to Danny Murphy.

Henderson was the first Reds captain to lift the Premier League trophy in 30 years back in 2020 and also lift Liverpool's seventh European Cup a year earlier, but is no longer an automatic starter for Jurgen Klopp, as midfield competition continues to intensify. And if the Merseyside outfit is looking to bolster their engine room options for next season, Match of the Day pundit Murphy thinks West Ham star Rice is the man for the job.

Hammers boss David Moyes claims the 23-year-old is worth £150million - a fee Liverpool would have no interest in meeting - but ex-Red Murphy insists that he would be a 'phenomenal' signing.
