Top 5 underrated players in the EPL

4. Jordan Henderson – Liverpool

Despite receiving copious amounts of criticism since making the switch to Anfield, Jordan Henderson has remained committed to the cause and this season his previously forecasted potential is finally being realised.

The midfielder has battled through this tough time at Liverpool and people are now beginning to see that there is, in fact, a lot to his game. Whilst his £16 million transfer initially seemed a huge price to pay, the club are finally reaping the rewards of Kenny Dalglish’s bold investment.

Henderson has been an integral part of an impressive trio with Steven Gerrard and Lucas in the middle of the park. He has started every single Premier League match for the Reds this season, creating 39 chances, assisting five goals and registering a pass accuracy of 87%.

We are now seeing exactly the sort of talented performances that the midfielder promised during his time at Sunderland and, if his current form persists, Liverpool could find themselves with a ready-made replacement for ageing skipper, Steven Gerrard.
