Jordan Henderson feelings crystal clear as Liverpool 'launch' £25m plan - 'It's crazy'

If Liverpool are able to sign Ajax teenager Jorrel Hato, Jordan Henderson may not quite know how to feel. Hato, 18, has been one of the breakout players in Europe this year, establishing himself as a first-team regular at the Eredivisie giants despite his youthful age. It has not taken long for the defender, who has been deployed at left-back and centre-half this season, to become one of the most sought-after teenagers in world football.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot has enjoyed a strong start to life at the club, but his only signing to arrive at Anfield last summer was Federico Chiesa. Reports claim Hato was in attendance on Saturday to watch the Reds' 4-1 home victory over Ipswich Town.
They've been tipped to accelerate their interest and wrap up a move for the young prospect this month, with a €30million (£25m) fee believed to be enough to prize him away. As Liverpool continue to be linked with him, former Reds skipper and current Ajax midfielder Henderson has already offered his glowing thoughts on the teenager.
Henderson recently told their club website: "It's crazy how young he is, but obviously how mature he looks when he’s on the pitch and also off the pitch. He's a very mature person, works hard, fantastic player. And yeah, he has a bright future ahead of him, I'm sure.
"I think he just needs to continue to do what he's been doing. Obviously, it's been working for him. I'll try to help him and also the players if they ask for a little bit of advice off the field. If I can help them, I'm sure I'll try and do that, of course.".
