<h2 style="text-align: justify">Liverpool FC's captain-in-waiting Jordan Henderson has urged 'outstanding' Raheem Sterling to stay at the club.</h2> <p style="text-align: justify">It is widely believed that Jordan Henderson is the captain in waiting for Liverpool FC following the departure of Steven Gerrard to play in the MLS with L.A. Galaxy.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">And Henderson has been quick to state in the media that the club are the best place for Raheem Sterling to grow into a top player.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"His work ethic is amazing. He is improving all the time. I hope we can keep him at Liverpool for many years, he can blossom here and become a top player."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Henderson also defended Sterling in the recent saga involving the way his agent Aidy Ward had gone about trying to get Sterling to move clubs:</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"He gets a bit of criticism because of how things have been dealt with, but I know him better as a person.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"I could not fault him as a person or a player. He is a great lad and gives everything for the team.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"For such a young lad he is so mature and does not let the outside world affect him.</p> . <p style="text-align: justify">Henderson then went onto hail Liverpool FC's new signing James Milner:"Milner is a fantastic signing, not only as a player for his quality but as person in the dressing room, on the training field and the experience he has got - it is a massive signing."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">He also insisted that Liverpool FC as a team cannot accept performances like Stoke: "The result at Stoke was not acceptable and we know as players it was embarrassing for us and the club.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"It was a very up and down season, very disappointing but a lot of the younger lads will be able to learn from the experience."</p>
