Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy doubts that club legend Steven Gerrard can convince Jordan Henderson to leave this summer.

Reports have linked Henderson with a move to Al Ettifaq, where Gerrard has taken over as manager.

Murphy was asked if he believed that Henderson could follow his predecessor as Liverpool captain to Saudi Arabia this window.

(Henderson leaving) would surprise me," Murphy told talkSPORT.

Unless (there is) an honest conversation with Jurgen Klopp about the amount of games he is going to play or not.

Jordan still looks physically brilliant. He still looks like he's got loads to give. He would still be in my Liverpool first XI, 100 per cent. Absolutely 100 per cent.

I'd be really surprised (if he joined Gerrard in Saudi Arabia)."
