Jordan Henderson – Liverpool

Liverpool’s captain Jordan Henderson has been a critical cog in Jurgen Klopp’s offensive wheel, completing the most passes in the Premier League this season (589) and sitting second in tackles (29).

Calm on the ball and possessing great vision, Henderson has been influential in moving the ball towards the opposing half in his club’s dynamic offensive system and holding down the defensive midfield.

Adding a goal and an assist himself as well, Henderson has shown to be a key asset for Klopp and Liverpool.
