Jordan Henderson insists he couldn’t be happier after completing the formalities of signing his new long-term contract.

The 24-year-old Liverpool midfielder put pen to paper on Thursday morning on a deal worth more than £100,000 per week that will keep him at Anfield until the summer of 2020. Henderson’s current terms had 12 months to run but leaving Merseyside was never an option.

Henderson is the latest big name in Brendan Rodgers’ squad to commit his future to the club – deals for Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge were completed earlier in the campaign.

Liverpool, who are expected to confirm that Jordon Ibe has signed a similar long-term extension before the end of the week, have been in negotiations since the start of the season with Henderson’s advisers.

He has not let the talks distract his focus and has been one of Liverpool’s most consistent players, producing 13 assists and seven goals from midfield and, significantly, being promoted to the role of vice captain.
