Henderson Hails Liverpool's Deadline Day Business

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has praised the club’s deadline day activity as the Reds bid to secure Champions League football for the first time in five seasons.

Brendan Rodgers capped a successful transfer window with the addition of three new players on Monday, with defenders Mamadou Sakho and Tiago Ilori joined by on-loan Chelsea forward Victor Moses.

Having claimed maximum points from their first three league fixtures, Liverpool has signalled their intent to mount a serious challenge for a top-four place and Henderson was delighted to see the trio arrive on Merseyside this week.

"I think they are fantastic signings. I think we've brought some great quality into the team," he told the club’s official website.

"It will boost us up again and so hopefully they will contribute well this season. Hopefully we'll have a really good season altogether.

"I've played with Victor before and he's a fantastic talent. He'll come in here and contribute to the team like the rest of the new signings.

"He's very talented. He's powerful, he's good with the ball, he can use both feet and he's good at cutting inside or going on down the outside."
