Young Tottenham midfielder Oliver Skipp has opened up on how Jordan Henderson is being used as an inspiration.
The Liverpool captain has often proved to be an inspirational leader on and off the pitch for the Reds during his time with the armband.
And it's not just at Liverpool where his influence is getting noticed, with Skipp, who is currently on loan with Championship leaders Norwich City, now speaking of his admiration for the 30-year-old.
The youngster has admitted to watching some of the videos released by Liverpool showing Henderson barking out orders during matches, and says he is taking inspiration to transmit that into his own game.
“I think that they [Henderson and Rice] would be more than willing [to help me],” he told the Evening Standard.
“I mean, Declan Rice has played over 100 Premier League games and he’s not too much older than me, so he’d definitely be the one I’d be looking to talk to and just to see how he’s going about it.
“Obviously, Henderson is a Champions League winner so they are definitely players that you can learn off, watch and see what they do.
“I think with Henderson and Rice, a big part of their game is their leadership qualities. You see, on the pitch, the vocal demanding, positive attitude.
“I was watching it, because sometimes Liverpool release a clip of where you can actually hear the players and you just listen to Henderson throughout the game driving that team on and I just found that fascinating, just watching him, and definitely something with the experience that you gain I can add to my game for sure.”
