Jurgen Klopp not worried about Jordan Henderson’s Liverpool future

Jordan Henderson’s contract situation has been the subject of speculation over the last few weeks. The England international’s current deal runs until 2023, but his representatives want the club to offer him a better contract.

Reports claim Henderson might move should the club not offer him a long-term deal due to his age and injury record. Klopp, however, has said that he isn’t too worried about the situation and that the club will handle it.

“I know what's going on behind the scenes, and am relaxed. The one thing I can say is nobody has to worry. Things will go their way, and be handled like they should be. That's all I can give you as news, but if I'm relaxed about this, then you can imagine it's going in the right direction," Klopp said.
