Steven Gerrard has welcome the signing of former Coventry City loanee Jordan Henderson to Liverpool.
A reported £16m deal to take the winger from Sunderland to Anfield was completed yesterday and Gerrard told the Daily Express: "It's a really positive signing.
"Let's hope he is the next Steven Gerrard.
"Liverpool needs a new Steven Gerrard and it will need a new Jamie Carragher. That's what good football clubs do - they replace their best players.
"I saw Jordan at first hand for two or three days with England and he is a good player with energy."
