Henderson captained Liverpool to Champions League, Premier League and domestic cup glory in recent years and has been an ever present figure in the team since Alexander-Arnold made his debut in 2016.

The right-back hailed his former teammate as a ‘constant inspiration’ and the ‘perfect role model’ as he brings a decade on Merseyside to an end.

Henderson has received plenty of supportive message from former and current footballers, despite the controversy surrounding his move to the Middle East.

The England international joins the likes of Fabinho, Karim Benzema and Kalidou Koulibaly in departing the Premier League for the Saudi Pro League.
