<\/span><\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a> midfielder Jordan Henderson<\/a> has admitted he does not want to follow in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard<\/a> but revealed he cannot wait to play alongside the club captain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 21-year-old signed for the Reds in June for a reported fee of \u00a316 million from Sunderland and many believe the youngster can be the long-term replacement for the England international.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Henderson is focused only on his own role in the team and is hoping to improve his game and being a success for the club.<\/span><\/p>\n

He told the club’s official website: \u201cSteven’s a great player and has been for many years at this club, so obviously a lot of us will learn from him and there’s a lot of other good players here which I’m sure I’ll learn off.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s great to be around them, learning every day and the manager and coaching staff will help us along the way as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSteven’s a big player and he has been for many years because he’s one of the best in the world, but I just want to be myself. I don’t want to follow in anyone’s footsteps.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI’ll learn from Steven massively because he’s a great player. There’s a lot of other great players here that I’ll learn from but I don’t think I’m following in anyone’s footsteps, especially Steven’s. I’ve got to concentrate on what I want to do and achieve here, and hopefully that can happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The former Sunderland man expressed his disappointment at the way Under-21 European Championships went for England, but feels the tournament was a good experience and can help him to get back into the senior set-up once more after making his debut against France last season.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: \u201cOf course it’s a massive honour to play for your country and I’ve had a taste of it, so it makes you want it that bit more. I’ve just got to concentrate on playing for Liverpool first and hopefully I’ll get the call up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve got to keep doing what I’ve been doing last season, keep my head down, keep working hard and hopefully that opportunity will come again.“<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On the European Championships, he said: \u201cIt was mixed emotions for me. It was disappointing the way we went out but it was a great experience for me and the rest of the lads. We had a great group and some great players. It was disappointing to go out, but I suppose it was just one of those things that you’ve just got to learn from.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had a few weeks off after the tournament and I feel good. I just need to keep working hard on my fitness over the next couple of weeks and hopefully I’ll be on top form come the start of the season.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
