Jordan Henderson considers the current Liverpool squad the strongest in his seven years at Anfield

Jordan Henderson has complete confidence in the squad Jurgen Klopp has assembled, with the captain claiming it to be the strongest he has seen in his seven years at the club.

The summer additions of Naby Keita, Xherdan Shaqiri, Alisson and Fabinho have played a major role in giving the squad talent and depth, something that has been lacking in the past.

Henderson did go on and reveal that despite the talent within the squad, only dedication and hard work will bring the best out of everyone.

“It’s probably the strongest squad since I’ve been here. You need 20, 22-plus players really – two teams to basically challenge for every trophy,” said Henderson in the latest edition of the official Liverpool FC magazine.

“When you’re playing every three or four days on a constant basis you need to freshen things up, whether that’s with a couple of changes or a few more, depending on what the manager wants to do. You need everyone as fresh as can be, really, to share the load, so in that sense I feel it is certainly the strongest squad I’ve been part of.

“I look around at the quality of the people we’ve got coming on in games and people who are not even on the bench. It’s strong and that can only be a plus for us hopefully. But every game is difficult in the Premier League and every team seems to be getting better every year.

“There are some top teams with amazing players and top managers throughout the league, clubs that are improving because they’re investing well and buying well in the transfer window.

“Tactically, things have changed as well, which has improved things, so I’d say the Premier League is getting stronger. That makes it difficult to win it but we’ve come on leaps and bounds over the last couple of years and we’re in a position now where we can really challenge.

“It’s down to us to go out there and do the business every weekend.”
